Hi,
I do get out as often as possible and enjoy the altitude, I am just more cautious about things now. Really watch my electrolytes (especially potassium) and just keep a pace conducive to someone who needs to be mindful of more than just the surroundings. I always let someone know where I’m going, and always take company when it works out, just in case.
There is a lot of snow this year, lots of fun and good runoff this spring!

All that you mentioned sounds like very sound practice...for many of us! Keep that positive attitude up there in your high altitude!
Embracing a positive outlook has many benefits to not only our physical health, but our mental health as well. Thanks for sharing @irishpeaks, I liked your comment about being mindful of more than just your surroundings, it's not easy sometimes living with a heart condition, but you sound like you are enjoying life where you are and making the best of it. We got almost 8 inches of snow this year! Brought the whole community to a halt! We are flatlanders! I'd wager you got a bit more than that. Do you have to have regular labs to keep track of your potassium? Do you follow a specific diet for your heart block?
