Last Saturday - a normal day, mid-to-high 70's in the afternoon, actually kind of chilly when the day started at 9.
Didn't feel especially thirsty during the day. Worked 6 games, and drank 1 gatorade between games 5 and 6. No abnormal loss of sweat, felt great all day.
Saturday night I started running a mild fever. No big deal. 2 Tylenol, and go to bed. Sunday morning, still a fever, getting achy. Advil, Tylenol, Advil, Tylenol. Dammit, which kid got me sick.
Monday, went to work. Left at noon feeling like crap. Temp 103.6 - went to the doctor. I was "dangerously dehydrated". Find out I now have a kidney infection. Took until this morning to get my temperature under 100 for more than an hour at a time.
Worst part - had to find a substitute for my 5 ball games this week!
Wanted to pass this along. If I can prevent just 1 of you from having the week I just had, it's worth it.
