Couple of questions

[Guest guest]

My first question is pretty dumb -- I get the

digest and I think I’m seeing the same postings. Is there a “right”

way to read them or should I subscribe to individual e-mails? I

have yet to figure out how the list works—maybe it’s

just my foggy brain.

My next question is more on topic regarding sat

levels. I am on 6L continuous on exertion which is what I use

around the house--I don’t bother turning it up and down depending

on what I’m doing. If I’m doing something

particularly exerting, my sats might drop as low as 79 . I usually

sit down, get the reading off the oximeter, and within a minute or less they

come back up to 90 or above. Is this the way it is for you or do

your sats stay down for a long while?

And lastly (I saved up my questions J) since having that VATS lung biopsy I have been

much more shorter of breath, which I’ve told my dr. I may

have needed some o2 before the biopsy (because I keep denying what

the doc was telling me) but now it’s worse. I wish I hadn’t

had the biopsy. Have others felt that way.

Sorry I went on so long, but would appreciate your comments.
