Stupid altitude!

[wolfwoodglomper]

My dad and my stepmom are outside, slaving away at shoveling the driveway, so I went out to help them and went right to it...and proceeded to almost faint. My vision got all spotty, my hearing got all muffled, and I got nauseous and felt like my legs were going to cave in. My dad made me lie down in the snow and my stepmom lift up my legs, I guess

Why are you writing in this journal? i thought you didnt want it anymore.
And, oh yeah, that happened to me once, just that no one knew about the lift the legs trick and i started to have combulsions =( thanks god I was unconscious and didnt notice, but my mom stared to cry. it was pretty awkward... never happened again.

Yeah, so, I think it has to do with the fact that up there theres less oxygen in the air, and your body as a hard time to get used to it, so be careful!

i know what you mean...it takes me a day or so to adjust when i go back to sea level, which is where i spent the vast majority of my life. the body adapts to wherever we live, regardless of where Home actually is.
