Just another reason to appreciate living while you can, people...
I had a heat stroke today.

Went to hospital and no apparent underlying cause was found.

Okay, that kidney anomaly still showed up in the blood test, but that's just another reminder.

So, no, I have no qualms buying that TV. Okay, I do, but life's meant to be enjoyed.

3. Most people take life for granted...
Until something happens that changes the equation. I am certainly no exception.

Glad you're alright. :)

9. Good to hear it was nothing serious
I've never had heat stroke, but I think I have come pretty damn close to it at times working outside. If the weather forecast is ninety-plus with a high U.V index, do yourself a favor and stay inside. :thumbsup:
