Attitude about altitude...

[Guest guest]

Recently I made a trip from Salt Lake City (4800 feet above sea level) to Iowa

and Minnesota (955 and 850 feet above sea level). My sat levels at 4800 feet

sit around 92-96 while seated and plummet to 82-84 when I start moving. While

in the midwest, I enjoyed resting at 98 and dropping only to 90-92 upon

exertion. Loved it. I had my suspicions. I am told that eventually (if I were

to move to a lower elevation), my lungs would catch up with me. It actually

pays for me to live at a higher elevation (have to work a little harder to keep

my sats up) so that when I go on vacation it will be more enjoyable. Also

encourages my husband to take me to the coasts. I am trying to convince him to

go on a cruise (either to Alaska, the Carribean or even one of the European

rivers!!). Just thought I would share. Have a great day, everyone.
