Day 5 on the BAK started out from Hoisington and was set to go to McPherson. My day started out at Hoisington and ended up about 7 miles into Rice County on Highway 4. I knew that I wasn't feeling good when I left this morning and about 15 miles into our ride I knew that I wasn't going to be able to ride any further feeling like I did. Grahame picked me up and I went to the clinic here in Hutchinson. 4 hours later and bags of IV fluid I was given the "no go" from my doctor who said that blood work and UA showed the effects of mild heat stroke and dehydration. Looking back, I felt bad last night already and shouldn't have probably ridden the 30 miles that I did today. But I wanted to try. I am very disappointed but I have learned that there are lots of people in this life who have made a premature trip to the cemetery because of their foolish pride. I kind of like living still. So I am listening to the dr. and saying "enough". There is much I wish to tell you all about the good 5 days that I did have. Tonight, though, I just want to rest and stay cool. More tomorrow when I feel a little better. God bless each of you for the words of encouragement. I will be fine-just need to rest! Take care all of you and I will post more tomorrow. Peggy
