I haven’t posted in a while because nothing new has happened recently. Still healing, still shriveling, still sitting around a lot. I won’t be posting any more about my condition until after my surgery August 11. I do hope to post a preliminary report on what happened in the next few days, so stay tuned.
I do want to steer the blog back to its intended use, which is to talk about altitude-related issues. An important book that I failed to cite in my book is Paul Auerbach’s Wilderness Medicine, fifth edition. This 2300 page monster covers just about every subject you can think about plus a few more. It not only covers altitude issues, it also covers marine issues, deserts, volcanoes, etc. etc. it’s way too heavy to carry on a trip but it should be on the bookshelf of any serious wilderness traveler.
