The summer after 9th grade I went to a team basketball camp where we ran drills and full court games non stop from 7 am to 7 pm.. We had a cafeteria where they fed us and had one of those fastfood type soda dispensers where you can get all the free refills you want...My dumb azz not knowing any better was drinking like 5 cups of Sprite after every lunch because I was so dehydrated from the constant running.. After around the 3rd day I was walking back from the cafe with my boys about to play a game and both of my legs locked up. I had never experienced it before so I thought I was having a stroke or a seizure... My brain was telling my legs to move but I was frozen and couldn't go anywhere..Then I got these sharp piercing pains from the top of my thighs to my toes.. I thought I was about to die and just fell on the floor by some lockers..
They had to pick me up place me in a wheelchair and bring me to an empty classroom in the school the camp was at.. They placed me on the floor, put bags of ice on my legs, gave me like 5 banannas and left me in the classroom for like 4 hours while they left to play games.. This was an old azz high school where the lights would flicker out and while I was laying there with ice on me alone, unable to move the lights went out..About 20 minutes later I start hearing chirping noises and I see a couple of huge rats running underneath the crack of the door from the outside into the room where I was stuck.. I
thought they coming after the bananas or to chew on my feet and I panicked and tried to get up but couldn't move.. I was literally paralized and couldn't move.. Luckily they ran off somewhere else but that sh1t was one of my worst experiences ever.. I didn't drink soda for like 5 years after that..
