About Me

I enjoy an active life, taking up skiing, hiking and boon-docking in the mountains. Since my first valve replacement in 2012 I haven't thought much of my heart, even doing the incline many times - but in 2024 things started to change again. Please go to 'My Journal' to see the full story and where things are currently at.
