Thanks so much. I missed out on all the Valentines yummies AND 3rd-row tickets to Supercross here in San Diego Saturday night. D*H's nephew enjoyed my ticket, though. About an hour after they left, my fever spiked and I called my health program's nurse connection. After answering lots of questions, the RN told me to either get to the ER for monitoring and intravenous fluids, or get a neighbor to go buy me some Gatorade or Propel Water because in his opinion, I needed electrolytes and I needed them fast.
D*H used to drink a lot of Gatorade before I convinced him all that sugar was really bad for him and worse for our daughter. Darn it. None in the fridge. But when I went to make some hot tea with lemon - lemons have electrolytes, don't they? - I spotted his electrolyte powder that he uses for his century rides. Woohoo! It's this stuff he orders online at Infinit Nutrition. I mixed up some of that and I was feeling better pretty quick.
When they got home, I was asleep - up and down, really, all night - and we didn't get to talk until Sunday morning, where he made me "breakfast" in bed - a big glass of the electrolyte stuff. Romantic, huh?
