Yesterday was the Whiteaker Block Party, an annual event put on in our neighborhood and sponsored by Ninkasi (the greatest brewery known to humankind). 
We waited out the worst of the heat in our cool house, having sealed the cool air inside once the heat was on. My husband and I headed at nearly 5 o’clock yesterday evening. I got to enjoy a nice seasonal “Radiant” brew, some (to paraphrase my husband) “excellent musicians playing mediocre music”.
And then it happened. For the third day this week I got head stroke. Seriously bad feeling heat stroke. I couldn’t even walk home. I had to walk as far away from the event as I could and he had to then go back home, get the car, and come pick me up. I was sick, dizzy, headachy, and had a 100 degree temperature! Not good! And I was not sweating. I was chilled instead.
So that was the end of the block party. My husband got to back later for an after party and be the sound guy for a local band that was playing, the Rye Wolves.
But what the hell is going on with me?
The heat stroke thing is really really wierd. How are you doing now? Is it something that take a little while to get out of your system...like are you more suseptible to it while you are recovering?
ReplyDeleteYour party sounded like a lot of fun though!
My husband thinks that exact thing, that once you have it, you are more susceptible. My friend got me into these EmergenC electroLite replacement powders that turn any drink into a sports drink minus the calories and they've actually made me feel a bit better. Who knows?
ReplyDeleteI've seen those powders and have considered buying them to put in the "end of the world" kits. :) But I've never known anyone that had tried them so I was always a little wary...so it's nice to hear a good report!
