The AFK Thread

Glad to hear you're doing better, PM. That sounds like a severe heat exhaustion or a possible low grade heat stroke. It's easy to underestimate how much hydration is needed in those situations, too. I typically pack at least a quart for even just a couple hours.

Yeah, probably some heat exhaustion. I did drink water and actually waded into a cold river one day. But 4 days of it took its toll. It is just so damn hot and humid here in late July and August. And I have no choice bu to be outside for baseball.

Last night it was a pleasant base 89 degrees, however the heat index was 101. that was at 10 pm.

OK, these last two or three weeks have been very hectic (a good hectic, with vacations, planning for vacations, lots of family time, etc., but still hectic). Starting late this afternoon I'll be on a train, travelling alone, for the next two days at least and should have time to update all of my games and keep up for a bit. I'll be in limited contact from Thursday afternoon/evening through Sunday sometime (camping at an outdoor music festival) and then back on the train for a couple more days, so catching up again.

Sorry for no advance notice, but I've been in the hospital following emergency surgery. I was sent home two days ago, but pain pills have left me in a serious haze. I'm hoping to feel ok enough to make a full post tomorrow. Sorry for the trouble! Back to bed.

 

[Scott DeWar]

Hey, this is no problem. I know how emergencies can change life. Believe me! You just get better! Is all going well? Getting better?

 

[Anastrace]

A lot better. I was in extra long because of internal bleeding. :/ So hospital food for like 2-3 weeks. So crazy.

 

[Scott DeWar]

OH joy! Hospital food! so very exquisite dining! Yom yom! I am glad the internal bleeding has been stopped in all seriousness.
