HI SHER............ sorry ....... spelled ozymizer wrong, see below

[Guest guest]

THE " O X Y M I Z E R " (oxymiZer) is a 3 " round plastic cup (with air

holes in it) and inside is a bag that goes up and down when you

breathe in and out. Something similar to those bags in the operating

rooms. It is only used with pure 100% CONTINUOUS liquid oxygen.

There are 2 separate plastic tubes that project from that going up to

the neck area hanging about 6 " below the neck. It has an awful

roaring sound. I put earplugs in last night and covered the cup with

my quilt so I could sleep. 24/7 rest of my life, also attached to

the tubing (below it) is a 6 " or 7 " water trap too. So far, no water

in it. They are coming tomorrow to take back the Helio Plus 550

small portable they gave me (liq oxy) and replace it with another

companion for me 6 liters and up to 10. The huge liq. oxy. cylinder

(we call it in this house " beer keg " for 1000 people) is supposed to

be only used now (effective today) to fill the portables when I go

out, because with being on #6 continuous, the liq. oxy. would have to

be filled too often. The special concentrator (liq. oxy) electric

made by the

Sequel technologies co. is plugged into the d/room outlet as that is

pretty much the center of our apt. I have 50ft of green hard triple

tubing which inside are 2 other protector tubes so you can't break it

and it doesn't catch in the doorways if you watch what you are

doing. It will be pretty at Christmas time. hahaha sick sense of

humor here. hee

I sure enjoyed the chat last night. The oxymizer sounds like ocean

waves coming in and out, but not as nice. I just took 2 extra

strength tylenol. Have a grand headache. After my sister-in-law and

her dog go back to PA tomorrow a.m. I am hoping to get some very very

much needed rest, quiet, peace and try to adjust to my new " toys " .

I love you this day !

Love, Lou
