Guest guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Hi Ruth, I not on line much and don't know about your 02, but I understand about not going out much I'm on 02 24/7 at 5L. By the time I get ready to go anywhere, I'm beat. What I wanted to offer is this. It took me a while, but I now look at this as a way to do all the things I never thought I'd have time to do. As long as I can sit, I can do it. Right now I'm doing a project for 100 guests at my granddaughter. I designed it never knowing how hard it woulb me to do. Believe me the positive side is, I don't have much time to worry about me. I almost forget I have IPF. So I decided to look at this as a sort of gift. I've done two oil paintings and have a third one started. I'm also writing, just thing I kept putting of. I guess what I'm trying to say is, find something to do that brings a smile to face. I don't know if I've helped, but I hope so. Hugs, TerryTerry Pennisi 11/07 IPF Nevada Subject: liquid oxygenTo: Breathe-Support Date: Tuesday, July 8, 2008, 6:24 PM Hi everyone, I joined the group awhile ago.Just been reading and not shearing much.I am almost 71, married and we are both on oxygen. Hubby has COPD.He had a lung collapse in 1991. He has been almost completely disable sense. I try to take care of the both of us. I was diagnosed with IPF. in 1992 caused from work related chemicals,from old history.I did public work until about 5 years ago.I started using my oxygen to sleep with after a sleep study was done in 2006.During the study my oxygen went down so low they woke me up to see if I was breathing.Said I could have a heart attack from it being so low. My breathing just got real bad the end of 2007 now I am on it all the time set on 3. I started using the liquid the first of this year.Always complaining it does not work right.It only comes out on one side of the nose tube.They tell me this is right.Question is who is right? They are coming out again tomorrow and I hope get it right.When I do go out I feel like I can't hardly breath at all. I stay home now seldom get out. just don't have the energy to do much any more. I also have a lot of other health problems.I would appreciate any advise on the Helios Plus.thanks for taking the time to read this .
