Walt -So nice to have you back, and with a spouse even!! So glad you are getting everything set up to work for you. I noticed you went motorcycling with your son one time... (I think that was you). One of the gentlemen at the oxygen supplier here in Salt Lake has found that when he is riding his cycle, it is kinda like a CPAP and he doesn't need supplemental oxygen WHEN HE IS RIDING HIS HARLEY. 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.
