737 Leg 8 Denali - Day 177

I should have flown to the Alaska today! Although frustrating, I've cleared my head of feeling sorry for myself and all the mental clutter from the last week. I'm looking forward now and focusing on what I can control. I had my second session in the hyperbaric chamber today at the South Wales Multiple Sclerosis therapy centre. It’s too early to see the benefits in the toe, but I feel better for it. Everyone at the centre in Swansea has been awesome, coming in early this week so I can fit 2 sessions a day in from Wednesday.

I'm still light but am slowly putting weight on from the 83kg I was last week, never the less I still look like a 10 year old boy wearing his Dad's clothes! So I decided to buy a new suit for Kevin's wedding (Kevin Morgan, former Wales fullback and good friend and also my training guru for my challenge) this Saturday. It's bizarre after wearing the same climbing gear for the last 6 months! Well technically I did wear a suit on Everest, my Rab down suit! I’m looking forward to seeing the team at Jagged Globe tomorrow in Sheffield, hopefully we will be able to at least pencil in plans for Denali. Will let you know how tomorrow goes. Thanks for all your messages of support on Facebook and Twitter.
