I had a wonderful time this weekend, hiking with my Everest team members and getting to know each of them. What great people. Today I got a chance to hear more of their stories; when they were diagnosed, what was their first clue, what meds do they take, what are their worst symptoms. it was a good hike. I'm pretty sure I'll always be bringing up the rear, but it's better than losing my balance and falling. It's also a good thing that someone else leads, because if I see a trail marker its forgotten five minutes later!
My chats with my team went all medical, believe me. I learned more about them personally. Careers, spouse, kids. I imagine that once we're living in close quarters I'll get to know them much better. Will I have the energy to debate politics at 17,000 feet?
Sorry I have no pictures yet. My computer went all "blue screen of death" on me last night. Dead as a door nail. I'll try to get some posted this week. Anyway, keep on training!
WOW ... I've been following your training regiment! I'm so proud of all the effort you have put into this - WAY TO GO EVVIE!
