Short Bio

Seventy-tw0 years old.  Moved to Denver from Washington State in 2019 and immediately found myself unable to climatize to the higher elevation. I have always been a runner, then a walker but I experienced pneumonia/bronchitis once or twice a year.  Doctor diagnosed asthma.  Always felt better when I visit the Coasts.  In September 2022, I visited L.A. and never felt better.  Started the long journey through the medical tests and eventually was diagnosed with ILD (probably pulmonary fibrosis) in December 2022.  Started oygen when doing strenuous things, rarely need it at sea-level.
