Well, I managed to survive the week. Although it was questionable on Tuesday. I learned about dehydration and how quickly that can happen now. On Monday I was busy on my first day back and did not keep track of how much water I had. In the afternoon I had to travel to another hospital across town and it was over 100 degrees outside. By the time I got home that night I was weak and my legs felt like rubber. I figured it was just fatigue. However I felt even worse in the morning but forced myself to go to work. I had to come around noon and I barely made it I was so weak. I figured out later in the day that I had not had enough water in the last two days. I felt a lot better after 3 liters of water which took me several hours to get in.
Needless to say I am back to keeping track of how much water I get in a day. I had been doing this at home but didn't do it at work.
I should have realized how easy it would be to become dehydrated especially since I live in the desert. It just never dawned on me until it was almost to late.
