With weather closing in the helicopter made it to Pheriche and took Mike back to Kathmandu with a couple stops on the way. On arriving in Kathmandu his first stop was the clinic where they changed the dressings on his hands and feet. He said he looks like a clown, with a black nose, and bandages on his hands that look like boxing gloves. He was still in clothes he wore to the summit and when he finally took them off he realized he has lost weight. He hopes to arrange a flight back on the U.S.A. soon. He will need to use a wheel chair in the airport and will try to arrange a seat with more leg room. At least he could joke that because he looks so awful I(his wife) don’t have to worry about other women chasing after him.
