Guest guest Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 MB Today when Eddie, , and I were at the wedding, I asked Eddie what setting my Helios was on! Duh! I cannot even remember what I am breathing. Happy Easter! Have fun meeting Matt's girlfriend! Toodles! Jane UIP/IPF 12/1998 Dalton, Georgia aka pinaolady_musicgirl>> Hi everyone,> Just wanted to share my dopieness this evening. My son and his girlfriend are coming down here to Durham tomorrow from Boone for Easter. I'm really looking forward to seeing him and meeting her. So in preparation I went to put clean sheets on the daybed and also on the air mattress. Here's where the dumbness comes in. I left my concentrator set at just under 3 liters as I had been sitting and relaxing before I started this. After a few minutes I started feeling very light headed and began to cough and cough and cough and cough. I grabbed my oximeter and lo and behold my O2 sat was 59. Ooooops Fortunately once I sat down and stayed still and breathed, in through the nose, out through the mouth, my sats were in the 80's in less than a minute and back to 97 or so in less than 2.> One would think after nearly 3 years I wouldn't make this kind of mistake any more. But I guess there's no statute of limitations on stupid. I can just picture Peggy shaking her head and saying, "Ya can't fix stupid". > So I guess the point is be careful everyone. Make sure your oxygen is set at an appropriate level for your activity. It's so easy to just start doing something without thinking, just be careful!> > Hope everyone has a wonderful, peaceful blessed Easter Sunday!> > Beth> Moderator> Fibrotic NSIP 06/06 Dermatomyositis 11/08> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
