Been in Santa Fe for a week now

Hiked to a little over 8000ft so far and feel great. Going on up to Pagosa Springs and Durango Co. tomorrow and will get a lot higher (altitude, not substances). Got a little short of breath on our first few day hikes (in Florida our house is only 58 ft above sea level), but absolutely no SVT's or anything else that I can detect so far. This new Medtronic has been a huge improvement so far. Will be getting a PM check in a few weeks when I get back, but so far I expect a good result. My best to you all!

How awesome!!!! I'm glad to hear you're feeling so good and making the most of your vacation.

I get sob the first few days over 6 or 7000 ft also, but it goes away, one of the downsides of living at sea level! I don't think I'm even that high, we're more like 7', lol. My parents live at 7500 so I deal with it several times a year. Staying hydrated seems to help more than anything.
