several years ago my father, who had lived in Colorado for almost 40 years, had a nasty bout of altitude sickness when he was visiting family in the mountains. He was still able to live at his home (lower elevation) but it did restrict his travels.

I hope you find a good buyer and a place to live that you can come to love.
