What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?
Good morning, everybody!
I turned 57 on the emergency room floor last night. I went to Urgent Care in the morning and they told me that I was very dehydrated and needed to go to the nearest emergency room. I made the mistake of going to my hospital's emergency room. Although I see almost all of my doctors in the suburbs, they are affiliated with a Cook County hospital. So they get all of the car crashes, accidents and arrests for a city of 7 million. We got there about 11:30.
At about 9:30 PM they called me back and put me on a cot in the hallway of the emergency room. I had some tests and got two bags of IV fluids, and that left me feeling a little better. Today I am resting and just keeping a simple diet.
I must be in the minority but prefer to swim in the ocean.

Appy Birthday !!
Sorry about Really bad ER experience...
As for dehydration- you probably need to take sodium regularly.
Make Sole water, then use that daily. Specifically before your workouts and right after.
I usually take 1 oz sole water, followed by 12 oz of regular water with electrolytes an drink that in the late afternoon- early evening. Really critical.
