(((((((((((Rohag)))))))))) Wow. What a terrible ordeal. Even though I knew the gist of what happened, I'm blown away by the details. (Walking 2.5 miles in that terrible heat is just one for a start!) The hospitalization, the midnight ambulance ride......the suicidal urges!! How terribly frightening. I'm glad that you wrote about your experience. It alerted us all to the possible dangers of becoming terribly overheated. (I can't believe that you'd be the only one.) And I think this was a way to further process this yourself. I'm so thankful that you came through this, my friend. Hugs......grey
