Hi @Former-Member

There weather is cooler here this morning - yesterday was not as hot as it has been and we had rain last night - and I slept well

But yesterday - sheesh the heat knocks me around - I had my usual back ache and the pain between my shoulder blades caused by working on my computer for ages on Thursday resetting so much stuff - and I had what I call a bad pain day and did very little except watch TV and each the best part of a small cook chook

After all - why not eat such nice food while it was still fresh and pleasant? I enjoyed it

I found a flyer in an envelop that came with my pension details - "How to Cope and Stay Safte in Extreme Heat" - and got some details on surviving the heat

The symptoms you described when you were having a shower the other day are called Heat Exhaustion - and yes - that's what I have had - so you lie down in a cool place, drink cool water and wear as little clothing as possible and see a doctor - when I had an attack of this I was at the doctor - and I know you live in a small place and don't have access to a doctor easily

But you did treat it properly - and if it happens again do the same thing - but when you do see your doctor I think it would be a good idea to be checked out

@Faith-and-Hope- I guess you have plenty of rain for now - it's nearly spring where you are atm and I guess you will be heading back to Australia before long - I am thinking of you and yours and hoping everyone recovers from the Lurgie quickly - it can knock your socks off
