Lots of WATER when HOT out

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Hamm Homes

Media generated by meta.aiSomething happen to me on Friday night that I black out when I stood up on the Deck, and fell on my deck.

Hit the back of my head and do not remember any of it till I got to the hospital,  My wife call 911 and my granddaughter was here and open the front door.  They took a ct scan and had blood on my brain so they admitted me to get another CT scan at 330 in the morning to make sure not more blood increase.  So no more at 330 of increase of blood.  They came in ar 430 to take blood.  Then ar 5 to check vitals.  Bight shift Dr came in at 530  to tell me about Ct scan.  then surgery came in to say only blood from 

night before show up so no surgery.  Two dr. came in at 830 and quiz me on a number pf things and wanted to know what I 

did on Friday and how much water I drank.  Having a sugar problem, they want me to eat a bigger breakfast and a snack by 11 and lunch at 1 (I eat lunch at 2) then a snack at 4 and dinner by 6.  drink at least two liters of water daily,  I drink 3 to 4 gatorade zero each day and two glasses of red wine with dinner.  All I can say is drink lots of water all the time that you do not have what happen to me

Hi Will,
I'm so glad you're home and have a care plan. It's easy to get dehydrated, and then lots of bad things can happen. Sure glad you are ok.

Will Hamm you were very fortunate to not require surgery.  A friend of mine had blood on his brain and it required 2 surgeries to correct it.  God was with you.

Well this was certainly a scary experience, Will. Happy to hear that at the end of the day you didn't need to do much more than adjust your eating and drinking habits.

Not having enough fluids to drink during the day can definitely impact health. Stay healthy!

Thank you for the good and timely advice Will Hamm . Earlier, when I heard blood on the brain, I was very concerned as my Dr told me after my last fall that had I had blood on the brain I'd be dead. I'm very glad you got back on your feet in short order.

Hot or not- yeah make sure to stay hydrated and it's easy to underestimate it. I wish a full recovery for you. 

Since a lot of my business is walking rather than getting into cars to get from showing to showing- I keep bottled water in my backpack for both me and for my clients during the hot months.

Good morning Will. Glad you are recovered and have a plan to drink more water. I have started drinking more water myself. More water does not mean cutting back on dust libations thought, ha, ha. Enjoy your day.

Will Hamm  sad to hear of your episode but as an almost grown-up you have to be careful and hydrate well, and when you think you've had enough to drink, drink some more.

Hi Will:

Glad to hear it was not worse than it was but certainly a very scary episode. Hope you are recovering well and feeling better.

Thanks for the reminder about drinking more water - that's something I could improve on for sure.

Yes. Use a straw and get that water down a bit faster. That’s a tip that I got

Oh Will, I am glad this all worked out positively. I drink lots of water during the day but it is a good reminder when it is hot to drink more than you think you need.
