Limitations

I think sometimes in life the hardest thing to do is understand that the human body has limits. I got my first dose of elevation sickness today. Dizziness, confusion, swelling in my fingers, and the pins and needles feeling in my lower body. I'm not one to give up, but for the first time in a long time, I realize that I have physical limits. I know in my heart that I can make this journey. I'm not willing to permanently damage my body in the process. I don't yet know where I go from here but I know this is not the end of my journey and if nothing else, I'm away from the problems I've had for so long.

  1. Give yourself a couple or a few days at your current elevation and your body will adjust. Unless you have some cardio-vascular disease you are not aware of. i'm enjoying your posts and photos.
