Hubby likes to recall that a marathon runner died from too much water during the race. Sweating and swigging water at every chance was deadly. It must be a balance because in my mil low sodium, dehydration, UTI often happen together. Recently she had a GI bug and didn’t drink or eat enough and bingo, low sodium/dehydration and too much concentration of blood thinner making her blood dangerously thin. It is not fun getting older.

I am pretty old now. Some parts of aging are definitely not fun, but I prefer it to the alternative.
