OWOtis Williams
Am I gonna be OK?
Yeah. You just need to take it easy on yourself. Muscle breakdown and myoglobin damaged your kidneys.
OWOtis Williams
Why'd you shock my heart?
When your kidneys don't work, potassium builds up and messes with the electrical activity in your heart.
OWOtis Williams
Can it happen again?
We gave you medicine to lower your potassium, and you'll need dialysis to clear it all out.
OWOtis Williams
Then I'll be OK?
Yeah. You might need a week or two for your kidneys to recover, but yeah. You really need to hydrate like crazy before and after a triathlon.
OWOtis Williams
Trust me, I won't let this happen again.
Good. Be kind to yourself.
