Man, we're having a heat wave.
Doing dialysis during a heat wave - well, sucks. All I want to do is drink giant and copious amounts of cool, icy beverages. Alas, I can only stare and sweat.
It's really hard during these 90+ degree days.

Steve o, My heart bleeds for you. TOO much sunshine and heat. In the UK our weather is terrible, cold, wet, windy, we have had our central heating on twice this week.We are having a really crappy summer again. So enjoy the sunshine I wish I could.

Ain't that the truth. Yesterday, I was on a boat tour on the Chicago River in the 99 degree heat. Plus the boat had an open bar so I got to see my co-workers guzzle yummy-looking margaritas and bottles of water by the dozen. Grr. I probably had more fluid yesterday that I should have but I just couldn't cope with the heat without a few extra sips of water.

I with BillyBags.... I've been craving that heat that seems to be torturing everyone else. Beach days have been few and far between.. it's been rainy and cold.. so much that my arthritis is kicking up.. usually only does that in the spring and the fall

Too hot here - 101 today. I stay inside but I probably still drink too much. I want to go back to my transplant days when I drank 3 quarts a day.

I like to exercise each day (usually a long walk) but in this heat, nope, not gonna happen. So I go to the pool in the mornings and do laps, and it was so hot today here in Chicagoland that I could feel my face sweat even while the rest of me was submerged in water. :o

I sure can understand, I live in Phoenix Az, we can top out at 122 or 123 on our hottest day. Right now is our monsoon so we hit 102 to 110 with 40-60 percent humidity. I really feel for those in the East where the heat index is so high right now. Munching on ice here! My craving is a big glass of black cheery koolaid. lol

My best friend, who lives in NYC, told me that today that she drank a lot of water to stay hydrated, but the puked it all up again a few hours later. She also said that she was finding it hard to breathe, and she has asthma, so that worries me too. I'm worried that she might be getting heat stroke, and with all the stress that she's under right now, I'm afraid of what it would do to her. She's currently living in a shelter. When she told me she still wasn't feeling well, I told her to go to bed. I'm worried that with all that's going on, if she gets sick, it'll do her in

Amen, man - I remember those days. Drinking 3 liters, and peeing it right out. Sigh.
