Dehydration warning

I learned first hand today that even slight dehydration can be dangerous, especially if you already have low blood pressure. I passed out twice this morning resulting in tissue damage to my knee and back, along with a very painful broken foot. I also have to stay overnight in the hospital for monitoring. So sip sip sip!

Get well soon!! :(

I am always scared that something is going to happen to me because I don't drink enough. It is just so hard to do it but I am going to try harder. I probably only get like 1 to 2 16 oz bottle waters in a day. thats not good. I hope you feel better. That is so scary

I try but drinking makes me a little nauseous. But I'll have to try harder because I am in so much pain. I can barely move.

Oh Geez I hope you get well soon!

That's hard to do but I guess we better do it before something really bad happens. We didn't have this surgery to get sick from it right. We want to get better from it. Let's do it! ;)

OMG- how scary. Wishing you a speedy recovery...

Oh no !!! Praying for a fast recovery and that you are able to get the fluids you need in. A true reminder for us all we need to get our fluids in!

I hope that you heal quickly! I'm sure you've tried different types of liquid- but just wanted to check... Sometimes for (seemingly) no reason Water makes me nauseous feeling, so I have to change it up with tea or something. Feel better!!

Tea is my go to. Water makes me feel ill unless its flavored. I've had three bags of fluids and my urine is still dark. Plus I just freaking hurt.

Wow Lisa that is scary... Get well soon and sip sip sip!!!

Final diagnosis...twisting displaced fracture in my foot. Both knees sprained, and my back is sprained too. I will be sipping like a crazy person from now on.

oh Lisa good healing vibes for a speedy recovery, what has helped me is hot lemon Water, and various hot teas sipping them throughout the day, they are never the same and I do not do sugar or anything just plain tea to help with water intake. hopefully you find something that won't make you naseoues.
