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.

I read this as you were on the floor of the emergency room! Either way not a good birthday. Glad they got you hydrated and hope that gets you on the mend.

The cart next to us was an addict who was handcuffed to his rail for punching the EMT who told the admitting desk that he had to administer Narcan twice.

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.
