I have about an hour to decide whether or not to go to hubby's last softball game of the season, it's 114F outside right now, I don't know if there will be shade or not, it depends on the field we are on and I don't know which one.

I have mild heat exhaustion right now (shakey, nausea, chest pains, ect.) but might be better in time to go.

my dilemma?

1 I don't want to miss the game

2 I don't want to get so sick that I have to go to the hospital



what should I do? completely up to NS, I mean if I am going to be irresponsible I am going to be really irresponsible right?! LOL

Bring a big golf umbrella for shade and go.

It's softball. A girls game played by grown men.

Stay home.

Yes, but take proper precautions, like Nadkor's umbrella and lots and lots of water to drink.

Stay home, he'll understand.*nods*

Stay home, I'm sure your husband wouldn't want you to put your health at risk.

45 degrees? you'll explode!! :eek:

as a british person, i can verify this fact :D




my real answer is bring an umberella, a hat, lots of water, and take trips out to the car between innings (if there are such things in the game) to bask in the cool air of AC *nods*

If it's important to you then go. I doubt you'll die from it, just frink plenty of water e.t.c.

You're health is more important than a game.

Stay

You are sick already, 114 is ridiculous. Your girls need their mom. Stay home.

Big golf umbrella, a small cooler and a couple of towels soaking in the ice water. bottles of water and sports drinks would help.

then, when the games done, he can take you out to eat to a gluten-free meal that you don't have to cook. ;)

Answer quickly: Do you have beer? If so, how much?

Don't go, stay here and post.

next question: how fast can you drink it?

Followed by, Stay where you are, I'm coming over to drink your beer.

I thought the next question would be "Can you get more?" :D

GOD...what's with all the boring people giving the wrong advice?

what wrong advice... It's his last game of the season. his last hurrah for this year. what's wrong in celebrating it with him.

as long as the proper precautions are taken... sunblock, hydration and keeping things at a slow pace, why can't she have fun herself.

I refer you to the second post in this thread.

Give him a hummer, he won't care after that.

You're sick. Don't make it worse.

"hummer" = new slang for a blowjob? :confused: ;) :D

yep.

hardly new

because a Golf Umbrella isn't enough. you also need UV protection, as well as to protect against dehydration.

hardly new
new to me :(

Psst... ask Glitz to give you a Hummer... if she gives you a car, would you really complain? ;)

pah, i don't need to use slang 'round her ;)

but yes, a car would be nice :p

Hey, I never said it was all she should do.

So, I went, we lost, we went into extra innings, and hubby would have gotten the out and won the game but the idiot playing 3rd ran backwards to try to catch the ball that was coming to hubby and they ran into eachother, the ball hit the ground the runner jumped over them and got the winning run :(

I feel like crap.......and we didn't even win.

So we finish our 18 game season with 1 won and 17 lost :D

Stay home, I'm sure your husband wouldn't want you to put your health at risk.
agreed

If you get sick, then you can miss work -- presuming you have a job with sick days and all. This might not be good if you love your job and it isn't ethical.

I suggest a long soak in a nice tub bath.

It's the last game of the season, I'd go.

1. I'd take my own shade - an umbrella of some sort.

2. I'd slather on sunscreen.

3. I'd make sure I had plenty of water and gatorade (replenish electrolytes)

4. I'd take a chair in case there are no bleachers, if there were bleachers, I'd sit close to an exit so I could make a quick escape if I had to.

5. I'd take an ice chest filled with ice and the aforementioned water and gatorade and a small damp towel which I would use to cool myself down at intervals. (applying it to the wrists and the back of the neck is a good way to forestall heat stress).

6. I'd wear a wide-brimmed straw hat - ventilated so there would be air circulating around my head, but shady so I would be protected from the sun.

7. I would not wear anything sleeveless, but I would wear light-colored cotton so that my perspiration could evaporate and provide cooling.

8. I would get one of those little, battery-driven fans and extra batteries.

But I would go.

I bet you would ;)

Your husband might want you at the game, but I'm pretty sure he wants you safe and healthy more.
