Oh Flora I am so sorry you have had to deal with the extreme heat and another trip to the ER after everything else you have been through. I'm so glad you finally got your power back and can rest in the comfort of your a/c now. ((Hugs))

Thank you. It is so nice to have the ac back on. Definitely a day of rest.
Always grateful for this journey, Flora

Lots of rest and keep up the fluids. Beware that in the future you may be extra sensitive to the heat so you need to watch and take off yourself. Lots of hugs and prayers for the body balance to get back to normal.

Thank you. ♥️ They made sure to let me know to stay out of the heat for awhile. Until I'm feeling better.
Always grateful for this journey, Flora

Oh My Goodness! Thank goodness you are ok! It has definitely been crazy hot...and then add on top of the heat all the stress you have been under...Bed rest is absolutely what you need.  Take care of yourself so that you can continue to be there and help your family and neighbors when you are healthy.  Let me know if you need ANYTHING!  You know I will be there! 
 Have a Wonderful Day!  ~Misty

Oh Flora, I'm so sorry to hear this. We don't have near the heat you have, I'm sure but my sister didn't think the warnings for the elderly were for us, just other elderly, and experienced a similar event as you did. I found her in the room off from our pool and she had water but was sitting with her eyes closed, and kind of panting to get air. She had spent four hours sitting in the sun by the pool, working on her tan. I asked her if she wanted to look good in her casket? Omg the pool water was in the 90s! Since then she's gone out late at night to swim, and only for an hour or less.

Me? I've yet to go into our pool at all this summer, it was too hot to sit on the steps (which are in the water). That's anything but relaxing. I've been staying in watching old TV shows and movies and scrapping. All in the central AC. We set it at 67 and it never stops running and is never below 73 in the house, it can't keep up and it's a pretty new unit.

Thank you so much. Yes I'm hopeful they will get the last 250k within the next few days. It's already getting hit again.

Oh no that is so scary isn't it. It literally sneaks up on you. The heat is nothing to take lightly and I know that. I was very hydrated. But it slowly caught up with me anyways. I was just getting over covid so my body was already weakened. I'm sure that was not helpful. I'm taking it easy and just relaxing. Two days of good sleep in a cool house has been wonderful. I usually get pretty cold and need my electric blanket most nights in the ac. Because of anemia. But I would rather be chilly than extremely hot. I can dress or cover up to get warm. There is no way to regulate to cool down. This summer will be indoors for me. I don't want to experience that again.
Always grateful for this journey, Flora
