I really enjoyed our time in Breckenridge, and I bet it’s really fun in winter! And so funny what the nurse said to you in the hospital–my saturation definitely dipped lower as we continued to get higher (and ugh to your broken leg–what a mess, especially so far away from home)!

I’ll be back there skiing next Feb. My MD friend recommends dexamethasone for altitude sickness prophylaxis and I’ve used it a couple of times, game changer! So much better than the acetazolamide which makes you pee so much! Thinking of your pulse ox, I remember being in a hospital in CO with a broken leg and being shocked when I was at 89%. The nurse said “honey, you’re from the low country, you won’t get over 90% up here!) Enjoying your posts!
