bEASTies - March Winds Challenge (Page 47)

kimk - 2010-03-18 11:01 PM Had a scare yesterday and the school I teach water aerobics at last night. There is a man that doesn't speak very good English and I have a hard time understanding him...well he signed up for lap swimming without knowing how to swim, so I have been working with him after teaching my class, he was working on his kicking but acting very tired. after asking him several times if he was ok and not really getting the response I wanted I called the lifeguard over and we had to help him out of the pool, sat him on the bench and tried to get him to respond to my questions, no verbal response from him, he was always conscious but not really "with it" so I called 911 and when they got there they tested his blood sugars...he was at a 33! Later to find out he is diabetic and after an IV of sugar he came around and had no clue what just happened! It was really scary and I'm glad I took the time to work with him otherwise I might not have noticed he was having problems! They took him to the ER, I hope he is doing better today. I won't see him till Wednesday.

Thanks Kim

The dog was out in the yard playing with a boy. I've ridden by there lots of times before and never had a problem. I don't know what happened last night.

The boy went running into the house and a man came out and had to chase the dog away, he yelled at him but the dog didn't listen.

I just put what happened over in the Ghoulie thread if you want to read it.

yogachic - 2010-03-18 10:22 PM Ok, bEASTies, looks like I missed a good day of chattiness today.  I think I'm mostly caught up.

News of the day!  I just registered for the Chicago Marathon!!  This will be my second marathon of the year (and ever), assuming I make it through the one I'm training for now.  I'm kind of excited because a lot of my friends are doing it, as well as 2 of my sisters who will be coming in from NYC and Ann Arbor to do it.  Plus it's on 10.10.10, how cool is that?

billsorg - 2010-03-19 10:23 AM Whew!  All caught up on the thread... that only took an hour or so!  Missed my AM workout again... I was just hoping to do an easy 5k on the treadmill as a final warmup to my race on Sunday.  But alas, the sleep won out over the workout.  My boss is out today, so I'm going to head over to the Y at some point today and get in a little run.  It's very, very nice out, but I think I'm just going to opt for the treadmill to minimize the impact on my legs. 

On a lighter, more painful note.  I'm coaching my 9-year-old daugher's softball team and last night was our team's first practice.  I was throwing grounders to the girls and when one of the girls was throwing the ball back to me, got distracted for a moment and took a softball directly to the upper lip.  It wasn't too painful, but it bled a little and instantly became swollen to the point that I looked (and still look) rediculouos -  think Rocky Balboa at the end of every one of his fights.  My daughter said, "Daddy, I hope you're not mad at me." I said, "Honey, why would I be mad at you?  You didn't throw the ball and it was my fault anyway... I wasn't watching where I should have been watching."  She said, "I know... but I just couldn't stop laughing."  I was wondering why she was walking around with her glove over her mouth after it happened.  NICE!
