Beth, I am speechless. You're really having a bad day. I don't know what to say other than 1. I'm glad nobody physically and violently harmed you, your body. 2. What goes around comes around and the perpretrator is a big you know what. 3. I hope you attract some $$$. I feel like such a selfish, secular snob compared to you and your problems and just too dang lucky and blessed today and I wish I were nearby to assist you or at least bring you a perfect bunch of Cavandish bananas and some homemade no-chicken and rice soup! Holy cow. People can be so cruel.
Get better and I hope you don't let people take advantage of you. Re: fluids. I generally brew a big pot of tea and drink it room temp. all day long in the heat. I actually prefer room temp. fluid.
