mountain air

hi everyone i am back from Utah and i learned one very important lesson..... i can not breathe in 8,000 ASL altitude!   it was beautiful on mt snowbird at 11,000 ^^^^^^ 

 

i thought i was gonna die... for real.... the air was so thin and my lungs were dying!  instead of 7 nodules i thought i had 700 nodules.  plus it was like 112 * and the hotel had no airconditioning! 

 

so i am sooooooooo happy to be home.  dont get me wrong it was beautiful just not enought oxygen for me!  my room mates kept waking me up in my sleep saying i had apnea and sounded like i was dying..... so much for my sleep study that said i had none?  i think it was the mountain air so the last two days i slept on a patio in an adirondack chair so i could breathe. 

 

hope everyone is doing ok..... ~*yalinda

Never thought of the thin air being bad for people with lung problems, but it certainly makes sense.  I used to live out in Colorado, and come to think of it, Northern Colorado supposedly has the highest rate of respiratory disease in the country.  We lived in Fort Collins, and there were lots of senior citizens with oxygen tanks...  Glad you're home and breathing again.

as always God Bless you Craig! it is just not my cup of tea i like density in my O2 ....... couldnt live like that in high altitiude.... i think it is something your body gets use to over time, kinda like -20* winters ...... you should have met me on snowbird! i did go to the top..... via lift hahahaha ~*yalinda
