Hi. I have been hibernating indoors from the extreme South Carolina heat. I cannot breathe outside with the high humidity. So, to combat boredom; I hosted a painting party for some neighborhood children yesterday. I honestly didn't think I had the energy to pull it off, but once they arrived, I rose to the occassion. Their smiling faces were uplifting. Their mothers enjoyed a break to have time to themselves. The youngest one came knocking on my door after dinner asking if she could come in and paint some more. So cute. Here they are....

@windwalker Terri...what a special person you are....hosting the children for a painting party. Not wanting to be a wet blanket...don't you worry re catching some virus from the kids??? or am l too phobic?? @rdrell terrri

Happy & eager students.

@tdrell Yes, I normally avoid children. These three girls have been home all summer and don't really interact with other children. So, I felt mostly safe among them. I did watch out for any signs of sniffles etc. Today I am in bed with bad stomach cramps, but I think it is coming from what I ate, or going back on tobramycin yesterday.

Terri, Was told to drink lots of Gatorade when sodium level down to 133? This by a doctor just a few minutes ago. Does this make sense. From what I read this isn't great

@macjane Good advice Jane. I probably am a little dehydrated.

@windwalker....probably the tobramycin....how are cramps now?tdrell

@tdrell Hi Terri. Had slight stomach cramps last night after my treatment. The bad cramps prior did not result in diarrhea, so I don't think it was something I ate; but probably was the tobramycin. I am feeling good now. I went to my cardio class today. Thank you for asking. How are you doing?
