It was a really scary thing when my husband went outside to do the yard work.
I told him he should consider waiting another day when it was cooler outside, but he insisted he had to get it done.
It was probably in the mid 90s when he was out there. After about an hour, I went outside to bring him some water and then gasped when I saw him collapsed on the ground. I called for one of my neighbors to help me get him back in the house where I had the A/C system cranked up. We were able to get him inside, and eventually he was able to come to. He was extremely weak and he said he must have experienced a heat stroke. That is a very dangerous thing to become overheated like that, it’s the very reason why I told him not to go out there. He wasn’t even able to finish the entire lawn, but he was close. My neighbor ended up helping us finish mowing the lawn which was very nice. I asked my husband if I could take him to the doctor, but he didn’t want to go. He honestly wanted to get right back out there and finish all the weed whacking, but I managed to convince him that he needed to continue resting with the A/C system at the appropriate temperature control settings. One of these days, I swear this man is going to kill himself because he always tries to push himself too hard. But after he relaxed with me in the air conditioning for so long, he started to seem rejuvenated, but I asked him not to go back outside that day.
