With full-blown AFIB I tortuously counted off each of the 32 stair steps on that ladder to the Alaska Air flight in Zihuatanejo. I had to pull myself up with my arms. The hostess and ground crew were watching carefully. Had I stumbled the game would have been all over. The hostess did drop an oxygen mask for me after I was seated, as cabin de-pressuring might have done me in. This occurred August 2010.
