Hey FB Friends, Be aware that heat exhaustion is dangerous and can happen very quickly. It didnt seem that hot outside and my trees needed water rings around them, so I went out to do a little gardening. Within about 20 minutes I was overcome with the heat, sweating profusely and had to lay down from fatigue. I found a little shade next to the hole I dug around a tree, that fortunately I had already watered and used the muddy water to cool my face. My hands were shaky, my head hurt and felt like a block of wood, my face was on fire. When I got back into the house finally, I checked my temperature, and heart rate. Temp was 99.4 not bad, but my heart rate was 140 beats per minute. When your body stops sweating you can go into heat stroke, which I did not. A wet towel on my head and a call to Kaiser got me back on track. Still a block head, but recovering. Be careful out there. Love you.
