DEHYDRATION
Is not somthing to mess around with...

So, I had a wonderful week... School started, fun fun fun!!!
Friends, wonderful wonderful wonder!!!
Soccer games, great!! good. bad....

Well so, it all started since school started... We can't use the bloody restrooms becuse thier 8 periods and 45 minutes in each class. I would go in between classes but... It eff'n fulled of girls and only 3 rest room stalls. X{ ha..ha..haa... Soo... My solution, don't drink anything and eat little. =/ (WRONGE IDEA) As the week continued I started to have pain in my stomach. It hurt for a little then go away. I didn't worry much about it, figured it was menstural.. (wronge again...)

So continuing, I had a soccer game on Thursday, it was hot out... I didn't eat much (becuse time ran out as i was waiting in line for lunch) and I didn't drink anything all day. Well I play both JV and Varsity in soccer, and during the JV game my head started to hurt, a lot and I was getting dizzy. Around a little time left in the game, my stomach started cramping up in sharp sharp pain (like a knife being stab into me) As the JV game ending and we were getting off the feild for the varsity game, I just collasped on the side line in pain and started shaking.

(The rest on from thier was a little blurrly so i cant quite remember) I do remeber tho being in a lot of pain, my head pounding, my stomach in pain, shaking, shaking, and shaking and just lost??. The coaches/trainer came over and the trainer from the other school felt my stomach and stuff and thought I had appendicities so they call an ambulance. Then I can't rember anything but I'm in the abance at the hospital.

Next thing I know, I had a needle dug into arm, blood drawn, and like a dozen other shots, and tests done. 1st thing, the doctor thought it was my appenics, then my gullbatter. But i guess after getting a ultasound test done, my organs in my body were spazzing and starting to shut down i guess. So, many liters of fluids, shots, rest, more fluids, medicine, and tests, later I awake and i'm still alive and at another doctor to make sure everything inside of me is working properly.

So, I had a really bad case of dehydration and I found out since I was exposed to a heat realted problem now, I have to be extra careful and drink atleast 48 ounzes of water a day now. If I don't and get a dehydrated again... It could hit me worse and kill me next time. joy... lol.

But on the plus side, I'm finally home, alive, and drinking water. There was a lot more that happened but I really cannot remember. So, as a word of adivice for all you good people on gaia that play sports in hot months...

DRINK PLEANTLY OF WATER!!! OR YOU COULD END UP IN A HOSPTIAL SICK OR DEAD!!

the end. =]
