Peggy................................my oximeter

[Guest guest]

Remember last night in " Chat " I was asking you about the amount of

liters you used when up and about? Well, (I am on #6 liters)I was

doing a lot this morning around the house and stuff so I decided my

legs were quite weak, and all over kind of feeling of crappy-ness. So

I went to the concentrator and pushed it up to 7 1/2 almost closer to 8

and still have it there until I wind down a little. I will put it back

to 6 later this evening when I am done walking. Next Wed. I have appt

with a female pulmo as my regular one doesn't see patients anymore on

Tue and Wed and those are the 2 days I can go. Might be better than

the old guy anyway.

My oximeter tells me I am not receiving the right amount of oxygen

while walking around with it on my finger. So am I doing the right

thing? by pushing it up while floating around????????????????

Hi Lou, All I know is I keep my 02 above 91---what ever that takes. Call your Dr.s office and ask them I think it depends on what stage you are at. It was good to talk to you on the chat last night.  Peggy, ipf 6/04 Florida  Happy moments, praise God.Difficult moments, seek God.Quiet moments, worship God.Painful moments, trust God.Every moment, thank God.
