A Victim Of My Own Stupidity.

A Victim Of My Own Stupidity. Oh boy, This is hard to admit, but yesterday, I allowed my own stupidity to momentarily incapacitate me. I woke up with no plans, and decided that I should do some fishing. My sister likes to fish with me sometimes so I called over and found she had no plans either. Around noon I showed up and picked her, her friend, K, and one of my brothers up. Now my brother really does not care to fish, but he comes to hang out with me because he's been misguided into thinking I'm sorta positive roll model for him. Anyways, before we went to this little area I know about with a large water fall and dam, we stopped to get some bait, and water. The guy was out of minnows if you can believe that shit, so we ended up just getting a dozen worms. Yes, one dozen can last a long time if you are willing to cut them in segments, and not just put a whole worm on the hook at a time. I'll be damned if my lil sis did not start catching fish with in 15 minutes of our arrival. I had a couple I threw back, and a few bites where they got away, but did not land anything worth a damn. My sister on the other hand was yanking out drum fish as fast as she could cast. Most were good sized, but a few were sorta small. I let her keep em cuz she wanted to learn how to clean and cook them this time. I kept reminding everybody to drink the water I had got for us, and even drank some myself despite the fact I hate drinking water. I kept an eye out to make sure they were all sweating, and drinking. I knew I was. I had rivers flowing out from my tanned arms. At one point, around 3:30pm or so, I felt as if I were mesmerized by the water. I got a sick feeling in my gut, and all the sound around me became amplified. I knew something was wrong, and that I should back away from the water or any place where I can fall. I reeled my line back in, and looked at my brother. He asked "What's wrong?" I said "I don't know man, I'm getting sick...probably the heat." BINGO! I had made the fatal mistake of not keeping up with the fluid I lost. Even though I had been drinking water, it was not enough. I became nauseated, and asked my brother where the water went. He pointed down the path and said E and K took it. That was the longest 50 feet I ever stumbled. My brother was following talking to me, but I either did not, or could not answer him. My vision was dimming, my mind becoming lethargic and one tracked. Get water...Get water soon! I got to my sister and her friend, and was going to tell them I was sick, but the words came out something more like "Move, I'm gonna throw up." Luckily, I had not eaten that day, and not since noon the previous day, so I was empty of food. I had nothing to throw up and all I did was cough, but it dropped me to my hands and knees. The all realized the gravity of the situation, and I began to slowly drink some water. They asked how I was, and I said fine as long as I lay down. We decided we should pack it up, so when my shit was all gathered, I stood to start walking back. Bad idea. I took a few steps and had to rest. My vision now was one of just a bright ring in the center of my forehead. I was actually blind. I stood and walked some more until I lost vision completely. We were at the part of the stream where we just had to hop over a couple of cement slabs, and up a muddy hill with projecting rocks, and my truck would be 30 feet away. AC, more water, and a safer environment should I loose consciousness, which at this point, I felt could happen any minute. I told the to go on up, start the truck with the AC on, and wait for me. I also told them that I was going to rest because I could not see anything, and had no energy to stand let alone cross up a muddy slippery hill. I drank the last of one of the bottled waters and waited for what seemed like forever, but was only about four minutes. My eyes began to focus on the , and I could see they were having trouble getting across the hill. As my vision returned to normal, I directed them how to hold the poles, where to put their feet and hands, and even stood at the edge of the stream. I felt my strength come back, and knew that I'd be able to soon nimbly jump and cross that muddy hill once they were all out of the way. I joked with them that this was a trick I came up with to make them carry all the gear back. LOL. Once they were on the other side, I bound across, feeling like a new man. We put the fish in a container, got the truck started, and then I asked K where E was at. "I don't know. She was just standing there a second ago." I got outta the truck and found my sister slumped over on the other side of the vehicle. We got her into the truck and turned the AC on her made her drink some water, just a little at first, so she would not puke, and then more as she felt better. I knew exactly what she was going through, as I had just done minutes before. By the time we got home all was well, although we were tired, and even stopped for more water on the way back. She got pretty good at cleaning the fish. One did prick her under the finger nail with his pectoral fin, but I reminded her, "So what? We get to eat him!" We did cook em up too. And they were delicious. The moral of this story , is not to just stay hydrated, but drink water excessively while outside in the heat. You may not know exactly how much fluid you loose compared to intake. Keep extra water around too. In our case it was a life saver. We had enough to handle my emergency, and then my sisters when we thought we were in the clear. Be aware or your environment. You'll live longer. Ken  |

I am suprised you didn't get into the water. Your skin will soak up some as well as get you cool. I get heat exhaustion almost everyday but never to the point of being sick or collapse. Just enough that when I come home I collapse and sleep for an hour or so as well as being flushed and having a headache until I have cooled off. I drink often and as much as I can hold it is just too hot. "Temptation is fun...Giving in is even better.."

You don't know how much I can relate to this!!! I live where it's at least 100 - 115 degrees 10 months out of the year ... We HAVE to have water ALL the time! It amazes me when tourists and visitors try to hike in the desert and mountains without much water - usually you hear about them in the news and how they had to be rescued. People don't realize how HOT it really is here. "But it's a Dry Heat" Hope you feel better..... ...

This heat is killing me at work. And not everyone has AC. Which really sucks. I've gotten into the habit of buying cases of water and leaving them in my car. That way I always have something to drink. I usually pour water over my head at the end of the day.

THATS IS SO CRAZY cause Tim and I went for a walk Sunday and I had not eaten anything about the same as you and I didn't even take my water with me when we went down to walk. The same exact thing happened to me. I felt so pathetic. Here I am walking and trying to get in shape and lose weight and I can't hack it. Well that's what I thought at first before I realized it was the heat and lack of food and water. But yeah so it was no fun at all. I'm just glad I didn't fall into the river!

I love living here in the desert but like you I hate drinking water. Hate it. I had to learn to drink Gateraid and those kinds of drinks. Me and my friend 60 sun screen never leave the house with out each other either. At least you were smart enough to fix it. Donna Someday is today.
