It is possible on this second day that the muscle cramps Dixie experienced were latent effects of overhydration. Overhydration occurs when the body takes in more water than it excretes. A tendency to retain water is one of a number of conditions that increase the likelihood of becoming overhydrated. Besides muscle cramps, some other symptoms of overhydration may include blurred vision, poor coordination, nausea and vomiting, and general weakness.
Dave was doing the right thing by not pushing Dixie excessively. “First of all, do no harm.”
