Hey guys, What a day I had yesterday. I went to see my to see my PCP to update him on my surgery, etc. The next thing I know I am in an ambulance to take me.......across the street, to the hospital ER. My blood pressure was down to 65/33. This had my doctor worred that their could be internal bleeding, or worse. My heart isn't in the best shape to begin with (5x CABG, 3 stents, two coronary occlusions). After taking every blood test imaginable, they finally released me at Midnight! With the diagnosis of DEHYDRATION. Evidently, even though i caught up to drinking the appropriate liquids by Sunday. Thursday through Saturday I had only managed to drink about 3 or 4 12 oz glasses of fluids. I found out the hard way how easy it is to get dehydrated and the consequences to the body.

Thanks for listening

Glad to hear that you are ok. Sip, sip, sip!

wow! that had to be a scary experience!

I don't think I have ever hit 64 oz, however maybe my body was used to that before surgery??

Hope you are feeling better!!
