The Right Stuff

I played a mixed doubles tennis match in Houston last summer for league play and the match started at 3:30pm (very hot). It was a scorcher that afternoon and I sweat a lot. After the match my team decided to get a bite to eat, so I join them. Shortly after I placed my order I felt twitching in my right leg. I told my team that I was about to cramp and to cancel my order as I needed to get home. An hour or so later my team came out of the restaurant and I was stretched out in my car with the ac on high as I was was having leg, back and foot cramps. My team captain asked what was going on and I told him that I had been out here the whole time in pain. He told me that he had a banana and Gatorade and I told him that I had eaten a banana and was sipping on gatorade. He asked me what I wanted to do and I told him to cal 911 so that I could get an IV. I had cramped before and gotten IVs quite a few times. My captain called 911 and so the ambulance is now on the way. My captain then said that he has a packet of "right stuff" in his bag that someone had given to him if he ever cramped and that he should try it out if needed. He told me that he had never tried it but asked if I wanted to. I said sure and I would try anything. I tried the RIGHT STUFF and I swear to you that I was up and walking before the ambulance arrived. The Right stuff is for real and I always keep planty of it at home and in my tennis bag!!! - Gerald M.
