Most important thing, was something basic. It was getting dark, I was rushing a snare, and ended up scratching my thumb knuckle in the process. It was bleeding a fair bit, so I used my cuts kit, and stuck a plaster on it.
Unfortunately it just got worse and worse, until the last day, when, it was swollen like a balloon, green puss pouring out, I had to go to the medical centre in jokkmokk, for codeine and penicillin. Still cant bend it now. Just shows how a little thing can become serious quickly.
Doctor told me i had a bad infection, and it was damn painful, so I'd lost my sense of humour by the last day. [300 kroner to see a doctor on a weekend in jokkmokk.]

Aslo, the air was too damp in the quinze, and the next morning i felt like i had glandular fever. Doctor said the lymph nodes in my neck and tonsils had swollen. And I my be smiling in the pic but I found it hard to swallow anything.
Part of the trip was to find out what my own limitations were, after being diagnosed with a long term illness, and I think I did ok.
Im determined it wont stop me from going out on other trips.

My only fear is not to mess it up for the other people.
