Default tkrik's mishap
tkrik (Tricia) from Tucson was supposed to come to our Phoenix GTG yesterday at Famous Dave's. I spoke with her right as she was about to leave her house. Made sure she knew where to come and how to get there. It's about a 90 min. drive from her place.

She was late! Kept looking for her and her DD to show up, but they never did. Continued dialing her number, but no answer.

Finally today she answered her phone. *whew!* Turns out that she collapsed. Scared her DDaughter, Shannon, to death!

The Nurse Practitioner at the clinic said she was dehydrated, so they gave her some IV fluids and a scolding to drink more water! Tricia had been on antihistamines/decongestants for seasonal allergies, and they sucked all her fluids out and messed with her electolytes.

She does not have computer access right now at DB's place, but he is making sure she drinks her Gatorade.

Thought you'd all like to know. She says she's okay and will post later.

Thanks for the update, Twinks! To tell you the truth, it was sorta disappointing not seeing Tricia in the picture. Thank goodness she is okay and is on the mend. It is unfortunate that she was unble to attend the GTG - maybe the third Phoenix GTG in June will be the charm for her!

I hope she feels better soon and makes sure she's getting enough fluids ( electrolytes). That had to be scary.

Oh dear, Tricia! I hope you're feeling better. I'm sure the heat doesn't help matters, either. Please take care of yourself - and make sure you drink your water. I find that I can drink more if I use a straw. Not sure why - maybe it's easier for me that way - but I know I drink a lot more when I use one.

Trish,

Oh, you poor little thing! I know that must have scared you silly. I am glad you are doing better. These meds we are on are so dehydrating and with the summer coming, I don't think we can drink enough water. I drink it all day and all night and still feel dehydrated.

Be careful and take care.
