Lou's friend

[Guest guest]

Lou,

If your friend's family runs a foundation, they must

get requests all the time from numerous people. So

surely it wouldn't be an imposition -- the worst they

could do is say no. It would certainly be worth asking

if they'd consider contributing to the PFF. Wouldn't

that be great if they would!?

Hey everybody, Joy tells me that she gets my posts

double-spaced, but I don't type them that way! Is that

how anyone else gets them?? I think that's weird.

Geeta, I thought your name was Gita? Which is it? I

hope you aren't changing your name just because we

can't spell. :-) No one could spell Gwynne in the

beginning, either. Now people have caught on, after

a gentle reminder early on. I wish I were having for

dinner tonight whatever you're having!!!

, Congratulations on your beautiful new bundle.

She's really a beauty!!! What joy!

Leanne, It sucks that you're sick. Please go to bed and

don't let this thing get worse. I'm sorry you're so

uncomfortable. Hope the Levaquin kicks in SOON.

Bruce, yes there hardly seems to be a limit to people's

rudeness in any and all areas. I hope you were still

able to enjoy the concert. Could you maybe have

lunch next Friday the 29th (I know, unless I get a

call that morning) ?

Jane, how did the tv segment go with you at the

grocery? I hope it was a fun experience for you!

, I'll be praying for healing for your father

and strength for the rest of your family. Take care

of yourself.

, What a great thing that you went to the Tassie

doctor. All the testing sounds fascinating, and I

hope it will all lead to better health for you. It's

amazing how many situations most of us have been

in that were toxic for us, although we didn't realize

it at the time! yuk. I hope your regular doctor will be

accessible to working with the new person.

Zena, it's good to see a post from you. I miss you,

and know how frustrating computer problems can

be. I hope they're resolved soon, and that you'll be

able to jump back in here soon with your valuable

opinions and marvelous sense of humor.

FYI, I know that concentrators are notorious for not

putting out the liter flow that they're supposed to

when they're tested. Well, today, I got one of those

pen-shaped liter meters for the first time, and the

same can apply to liquid oxygen, obviously. My 2

sets of 2 reservoirs that are Y'd together, when set

on 8 (4 & 4), were only registering 7. When set on

3 & 3, they read 5. One of my Companions was also

falling short of what was set on the gauge. With

exertion I'm supposed to be at 15L, and the meter

only goes to 8. At least I know that when set at 15,

it did register a full 8. I'm bummed out about this.

It seems nothing is reliable anymore, and I NEED

(as do we all) to be able to count on my liter flow.

Before today, I already knew that 2 of my reservoirs

are supposed to be able to go to a total of 12, but

they won't let me go past 6 without spewing

continuously. bah. Why can't getting help to breathe

be easier???? (don't answer that - unfortunately, I

know the answer). again, bah.

Hugs and blessings,
