Guest guest Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 a, I second what Bruce has stated. You're needing more O2 upon exertion. Please let your Pulmo know that you desperately need to see him/her and that you would like to be on their cancellation list. People cancel all the time and they could fit you in. Advise them that you're SATS are dropping and you need to know where to set the O2 now. You should be what is considered " urgent care " and they should see you, even if you walk into their office without an appointment. Otherwise I would go to the ER and let them know you're having trouble breathing on your current O2 settings. I will be thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers. Please post when you know more from the Doc. Big Hugs! Babs in Texas p.s. Bruce had it right about the end of life too. I've heard from caregivers who have said it is actually rather peaceful, no struggling or crying, their loved ones just drifted off to sleep while on morphine. > > > > > > I am recovering from double phnumonia (1st time).
