Right now I wish I could do either. My body got so dehydrated not being able to hold anything down I am afraid it will affect my blood test. Wondering if I should reschedule. Whatever....getting old is so much fun. People taking a dirt nap don't have these problems.

Be careful with too much water it can actually KILL YOUR Azz TRUTH

What are the symptoms of water intoxication?

Symptoms of water intoxication tend to start appearing after you consume more than 3 to 4 L of water in a few hours.
Potential symptoms include:
  • head pain
  • cramping, spasms, or weakness in your muscles
  • nausea or vomiting
  • drowsiness and fatigue
In more severe cases, water intoxication can also cause seizures or loss of consciousness. If a person doesn’t receive treatment, water intoxication can be fatal.
What should I do if I notice symptoms?

If you or someone else is showing any signs or symptoms of water intoxication, especially seizures or drowsiness, it’s best to seek immediate medical attention.
As fluid builds up in the body, all of its cells, including brain cells, begin to swell. Swelling in the brain can eventually lead to coma, seizures, and death if a doctor doesn’t treat it quickly.
Eating a salty snack may provide some short-term relief while waiting for help to arrive.
MAKE SURE IT’S NOT DEHYDRATION
Water intoxication symptoms can seem very similar to those of dehydration. If you aren’t sure which one you’re experiencing, get immediate help. Avoid drinking or withholding water until you confirm the underlying cause of your symptoms.

It's real for sure
 
OKAY -- Time for some good news. My trip to the VA turned out better than I could have hoped for. I am wearing the next generation hearing aids right now.

The TV is on in the other room, and it does not come over into my hearing aids (used to, and I would have to remove them to avoid listening to TV). What I do now is touch the bottom button on either ear thingy and hold it. I'll hear a "boop" a deep voice will say, "home", and the TV broadcast to my ears stops.

If I want to watch TV in the same room with the Wild Witchie-poo while she is reading, I turn the TV sound off with the remote, and press and hold the top button on my new ear-and-thinking aid. "boop" and the TV -- in stereo -- can be heard only by me.

I can hear a butterfly fart in a cottonball.

In another week or so, they are sending me a directional mike. Looks like a $450.00 garage-door opener. I can turn it on in a crowded restaurant, point it at you, and I will not hear any background noise at all. Moreover, while the thing is passing along what you say, it continually scans all around, searching for human speech. Somehow, it can decipher stuff I might be interested in, and it will pass it along in my hearing. But no crashing of dishes, loud music, yada. Just sorta like being in a quiet room with some folks talking.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Haven't done this yet, will 'speriment when I get the extra gadget.

I can have my new ears connect directly to my phone... so it could be at the whisper level on a rollie coaster, and I would still be able hear every syllable.

For the first time in MONTHS, I can hear crisply. Sibilants. Bird tweets. The sound of a feather falling... <-- Well, nah.
