Pete is napping. He spent some time in John Muir Hospital on Sat. night following a dramatic episode with dehydration. He's in recovery now. This weekend was very hot and he spent time working on a flagstone path outside in it. Neither John nor I were home to advise him to come indoors. Dehydration is NOT pretty. Our bodies are not impervious to abuse, and after days and days of heat and maybe too much coffee, too little water/electrolytes... who knows? Thank heaven for emergency rooms, paramedics, drs., nurses, IV fluids, anti nausea medicine.. Pete is on the mend. Before the sun reached its zenith on Saturday I went out into the yard and collected flowers,vegies and strawberries before they all succumbed to the heat. I wish I'd taken as good care of Pete!!
