Guest guest Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Thanks Beth, Yes, both these guys are in the same practice. Dr is older and rates four stars for experience and attended a four star university (U of M). I live in Grand Rapids Mi where he is highly respected. When I attended Rehab, the nurses there think He's the best. I thought about going to U of M but, I understand you have to get a Biopsy, Which I don"t want to do. The Dr also said he could get me on Pred and I refused. I need O2 but otherwise feel good. I don't want to rock the boat. Incidental, I go salmon fishing on my boat all the time. I am on Liquid O2, and when we travel I get a Sequal Eclipse and awaywe go. We took a 7day Cruise in Feb as a trial before. I don't see what I could gain with a biopsy, or Pred. Maybe when I Slide down, I will reconsider. I also use a cpap at night after getting a sleep study, but don't need O2 at night. I use Airway Oxygen and merely tell them I am going to travel and they supply me a Sequal at no charge to me. I read others are fighting for this kind of service. Airway only has about ten offices, all in Western Mi. They are my second O2 Company but, that's a whole other story.

Yes having done it bigtime I know the moving is tough.Can't do what we did but we just do it at our pace. Good thing is I canblame it all on PF and don't have to admit maybe I'm a little older too.But I miss the love that exudes from your words.
