I am struggling today. We had an extrodinarily hot day @ the IDP camp. It seemed I just couldn't stay hydrated. At on point I became dizzy and realized that I really needed to hydrate. We all sweat so much that no one had to pee all day, not that there was anywhere to pee. When I got back to the house I was a little nauseous, totally fatigued, and sore from the food loading the night before. It was all I could do to finish dinner and a banana (for electrolytes). I went straight to bed for a nap and only got up when my dry mouth woke me up.
Now I an sitting on a couch, feeling very weak. I cried yet I can't pinpoint why. Seen too much this weak I guess.
I became a doctor today. I triaged patients and treated them. I of course knew when I was out of my league. One man came in complaining of back pain and pain and cuts all over his body. He had been beaten and robbed of his only possesstion...a bicycle. All he needed was pain relief and ointment for his wounds. I prayed for him. That really broke my heart.
