Guest guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hi ,Had my first PR today, after an evaluation on Monday. The eval consists of lots of questions and two 6 minutewalks. Both of my walks were done with O2 since I desatin nothing flat (sats high 70s on room air after 50 foot walk). The routine in PR consists of upper body exercises, followedby treadmill, stationary bike, horizontal stair stepper. Sincethis was my first time I only got to go three minutes on eachmachine. Times will increase as my endurance improves. Twice a week for an hour, for 290 sessions, preapproved byinsurance. After that I may pay $35/month for maintenance,which I may do.It's all about the breathing...and pacing yourself.Peace, jon50, Missouri, Sarcoidosis 1/9-- Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, " I will try again tomorrow.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Jon, does the PR program provide your oxygen while in the program? Mine did for nine weeks but after that I had to provide my on and my marathon limit of 6lt did not allow for the quality of work out I needed to continue. I have tried to rig up my concentrator and marathon tank to give me more for my home treadmill. My near by gym is cheaper than the hospital but I usually get sick from going out to either. Best wishes for much improvement!
