OK the VA hijacked me! Again! I was all packed and ready to hitch up the trailer as I went to my final (previous) cataract surgery exam on Monday. By Thursday afternoon, again as I lay on the table I was really annoyed. I had to have emergency detached retina surgery, as a result of coming awake on the table during the previous surgery, due to them giving me the incorrect anesthesia. I never saw the VA act so fast to get a surgery booked! Anyway, it appears during the detached retina surgery, they had to use something called a buckle and a gas bubble. Therein lays the problem. Evidently, I cannot fly or drive at high altitudes for four to six weeks until this dang gas bubble naturally dissipates. To do otherwise can have some dire consequences . . . . . . . so I have been hijacked . . . . . again!
My concern is driving from South of Monterrey to highway 57 (quota). If I recall there are numerous mountain crossings that are well above 6000 to 9000 foot above sea level. Am I correct in this assumption? Does anyone actually know the various altitudes along the way? I never figured I would need to know this little tidbit of information. I believe that the average altitude would be around 6000 to 6500 foot south of Monterrey with a few spots of 6500 to maybe 9000 foot above sea level. Would that be about right? Does anyone know? Thanks for any input on this.
