Day 9: sick day

Well, the weather is gorgeous this morning, but alas, we’re not hiking up Gokyo Ri. I came down with a cold yesterday. If this were at home, it would be unremarkable. At 15,600’, with my sinuses filled, it’s hard to breathe. It was a long night.

I made it to the night of day 8 before digging into my med kit. I’ve now started taking Diamox.

Does this mean that I don’t have to wear my n95 mask anymore? I thought I had a secret weapon… not.

Time to go back to bed. I knew that this was coming. I’m well prepared. It just sucks in the moment.

    Hang in there, TB. Don’t get discouraged. Give it time and it’ll pass. You’re resilient beast and will bounce back. 🙏🏾
