Our family went on vacation to a dude ranch in Colorado. I rode horseback about 45 miles during the week, with one trip up to a 10,200 feet peak. I was able to get on and off that horsey by myself. I also braved the class 3 rapids and 38 degree water and loved every minute of it. This was the best vacation I can remember because I could freakin' do anything I wanted and felt great doing it!
I love my new life.

Yes, T2 - thanks for noticing!
I could have slept out under the stars, but decided not to this trip. Needed my evening hot tub time!

Thanks everyone. It was so amazing how much I can do and how little I was effected by the altitude as well!

Congratulations Julie. I love that you can now do things you couldn't do. We were looking for a life vest that would fit me a couple of weeks ago to go kayaking...didn't happen...it is good to see that your's fit with you problems. It gives me hope!!!
