Harvey - thanks for the info. I had a long talk with Dr Peter Hackett when we were resting in Dingboche before our summit attempt. The MRI's of high-altitude climbers are --- different!
Bee - totally agree! Giving birth to my daughter was the only birth control I needed - that's why she is my only child. Bring on Everest over child birth!
2600F - Thanks and it was beyond wild! Did you go the my website and look at the summit-climb photos I posted last night?
Bulldog34 - Too funny, my husband calls me a train wreck! And according to the status as of June 2010, I was the 40th American female to summit Everest with 268 total females and 429 total Americans.
