Have you had a sleep test? I use 4-6 liters when I exercise, 2 liters for a slow walk and 0-1 when sitting (if I am not sitting up straight... I have a lousy sofa that my husband will not replace). While at my computer, sitting up straight, no problems... right up there 96-97. It takes a little getting used to, but with an oximeter to monitor your sat levels, you will get the hang of it. AND, hey, early retirement is GOOD!Congratulations! !Stefani 61 year old Utahn (transplant from MN)ILD 2/2006, NSIP (fibrotic) 10/2009, Diabetes II 2/2006, Sleep Apnea 4/2009>> > > Hello Everyone> I have been lurking and trying to keep up.

Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.â€> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
