Cindy, welcome. I sometimes try here to explain medical issues, but explaining WG is way out of my league. Will keep to simple stuff like AMS/HACE/HAPE.
I looked at your site. Got a kick (literally) out of your Aconcagua story. I did something similar when I jabbed my crampons into the other foots gaiters. Fell and very nearly rolled off that mountain. Congrats on the Big E. Harvey
