K....I notice in this post you refer to "Don hated the big BOA"......What does he have that is big? The BOAs we here on the board have are not really big and fit ergonomically across the back. Go check them out on www.LLBean.com and go to Healthy Back Bag.

I'm thinking they work better for a man than a woman because a gal has to have "purse-stuff" and when I needed 'purse-stuff' I had to pull the bag around where I could reach it, usually set it down so I could rummage around in it. (With my body arthritis, a purse and BOA are too much). There are outside pockets but they can't hold 'everything'. It's a great bag. I'd like to have the leather one (like Peggy has) but for the above reasons, I hesitate. The one I currently have works pretty well! It's softer, more pliable the typical harder one, and the cyl straps/lies crossways into the bottom of the bag. The shoulder straps are long enough to cross over the body and there is also a handle. Or does Don use the cyl?

Who is Don's provider? I have Lincare but most providers are similar.

How is Don today? Do tell him I say hello and hope he will join us on chat next time.

How are you doing?

Caro... I really admire your spunk to do the exercise/outside for a walk....! I'm going to rehab again...went previously.. .a couple different times....now will go again. Today. Really need the conditioning. Hey, take it easy on the new "toy". I know how some of us are...we go at things like we're killing snakes with a stick!

MB... You paint a wonderful picture of you on the little deck. I missed something... .are you visiting family in NY?

Walt... You do have a tough decision to make! Do the Drs. have some sort of educated guess by scans/x-rays/ blood work what strain you have?

I'm not a good person to ask because I will not do a lung bio....there is no guarantee it will be absolutely definitive and if it's IPF (you don't say what strain you have) there is no treatment/cure anyway. Prednisone is about the only med used and it has ghastly side effects....I won't take the med either.

There are different opinions Walt....Bruce had a bio, and although painful, he would do it again....I'm sure he will respond to you.

Are you on O2....do you need more O2???

God guide you........
