Sea sickness, chair lift

Well, I have to admit that most of my nose-bleeds are caused by 'digital trauma' rather than altitude, or anything else :D :D

And I do remember a very funny story on this topic (which is nothing to do with ski-ing, so Admin may wipe it off), which goes something like this.

A man is driving along in his car, not really paying proper attention, and suddenly realises that the car in front has stopped at the traffic lights. He does an emergency stop, but in spite of this his car just lightly bumps the car in front, which then remains stationary although the lights change to green.

So, the first man gets out of his car to investigate the matter, and apologize. He is horrified to discover the driver of the other car covered in blood and unconscious at the wheel. What on earth happened, he thinks to himself. And it turns out that the driver was enjoying a quiet moment at the lights by picking his nose when he got bumped by the car behind and his finger went too far up his nose, which then started bleeding profusely, and the poor man fainted at the wheel because he couldn't stand the sight of blood :lol:

I used to suffer with dizzy spells for the first three days of a holiday, with nausea. It could have been from the flying, the chair lifts the altitude. I was diagnosed with chronic anaemia, had it sorted although I needed a spot of surgery and a blood transfusion. Now no probs with lifts, flying, altitude no nausea or dizziness.
My only problem at the moment is frostbite, very painful and I am so cross I got it.

Frostbite, Rose :shock:

How on earth did you get that?

And, a blood transfusion to cure a spot of altitude sickness sounds a bit extreme to me :roll: :D

Managed to get frostbite under my chin. It came up the size of a large egg, scarlet and completely numb, it still is, but has a bit more feeling in it to-night. Did a 4hr snowmobile safari in -35. Rest of my body was lovely and warm but the cold just crept in. It was just the place that the strap on my crashelmet was so I thought it was that but spoke to the safari guide who had a look and told me what it was.

Rose,
Maybe you'd better start off a new thread about frostbite. Why did it swell up to the size of an egg? And what's the treatment for it?

It swells because of tissue damage. Been asking around to-day and its best to leave it and just keep an eye on it.

My younger daughter got her hand stuck to the freezer, when she was little and she was trying to get an ice lolly out with a wet hand. It went a nasty sort of purple shade, like a purple burn, but it never swelled up (of course it wasn't frostbite - I suppose it was a freeze burn).

Poor you, how worrying for you :cry:

i take it your on holiday at the moment then?? or was this frost bite a while ago?
