Overdid it today
 

Spent the entire afternoon power washing my downstairs concrete patio, upstairs deck and siding. About 5 hours in I started feeling dizzy. Next thing I remember is a hot paramedic asking me how I felt.

Apparently the sun became too much and according to my daughter I passed out, vomited and had a seizure. Not sure what order.

I've never had any health problems. Perfect health my entire life, rarely ever even get sick. This scared the shit out of me. (figuratively)

Damn!

Don't lie. Literally, too.




In all seriousness, hope you're alright, bud.

Dehydration maybe? Seems a bit extreme but I know ppl pass out

Pics of the paramedic?

They're calling it heat exhaustion for now but yes I was extremely dehydrated. I have an IV drip going now and they want to keep me overnight for observation. I just want to finish my siding.

I wish I had some. She was smokin...probably early 20's and way out of my league.

You shouldn't be working like that in this heat

Don't care how old or in shape you are

You likely became extremely dehydrated and hyponatremic, which precipitated the seizure. Don't be surprised if you receive a significant amount of IV fluids and they are checking your electrolyte levels regularly. Consider yourself extremely lucky. You could have easily died in this heat.

I saw you get pulled over on live pd last night.

Just enjoy the nurses!

Pretty much this. Start early if you’ve got to do on hot summer days.

I washed and waxed my car at 5:30 this morning. FML and this heat.

Plus it’s insane how little water people drink when they are outside in the summer. Many think their normal water consumption will cut it.

i try to drink a gallon before lunch and another after every day.

And you didn't even fake needing CPR?

Did you shit your pants?
