Hi Vrinda,

I know how tiring it is to have people ask if your all right. I want

to say of course not, I have an addition to tubes up my nose. But the

one that bothers me most is when they say how long will you need O2.

I always answer " Hopefully a very long time " . Then I have to repeat

myself and they kinda get it and say sorry and walk off.
