I'm breathing O2!

My Doc said I had only 80% saturation when I sleep so he hooked me up with an portable oxygen concentrator to take home. Now when I sleep or play on the web, I'm breathing oxygen. It's great! I don't snore now, hangovers are minimal, and I wake up peppy and alert. Who woulda thought it would make that much of a difference?
It's like moonwalking around the house. [:p][:D]

    Don't want to rain on your dance, but does it smell pleasant also?

    I liked those things also, but the smell is an indicator of added scent oil.

    I think they lead to pnumonia. Especially while lying on your back. Fluid builds in the lungs.

    I want no part of it. They put that snazzy little blood ox guage on the finger to chech the o2 level and if your not breathing just right your either on o2 or not following dr orders.

    I learned to breath properly and my level is 98%.

    Suit yourself. Many are on it, I suppose.

    I was getting fluid in my lungs on it. I've never had pnumonia, and I don't want it.

    Not scented at all. This isn't some Glade air freshener device, but rather a medical device with a 20ft tether hose. Pure dry O2! [:)]

    Medical O2 is supose to have some moisture in it. That's aviator's oxygen that needs to be bone dry.

    It's infused with ambient air for the moisture I guess as I have the little tube lines in my nostrils. It feels dry though.
    Makes me smile because I think of Mike Nelson in Sea Hunt. He wore a tethered hose hooked to a triangular mask once.[:I][:o)]

    Do you have a little potable unit to take outside? looks a little silly but I had some clients that said it really improved their quality of life.

    Tell me how to train myself to breath properly when I'm sleeping.

    put a type of vasiline in your nose so you wont get chapped nostrils. the air is going to dry them out.
