O2 is coming and non to soon

Yesterday I had a kip 10 and did this without meds or O2 due to the girls in the office "forgetting" to call and not taking the Imitrex due to not taking it for 6 yrs and didn't know how I would react to it being alone.  Well my whole day was shit  and I had a melt down last night.
 
  I went to bed taking my Klonopin and Melatonin  the melatonin was new to the mix and I had another cluster 2 hrs after going to sleep.  This was new so I don't know if I should just leave the klonopin alone since it was working.  Well I took my Imitrex and it knocked it out right away so I'm OK taking this.  
 
I thought that my O2 was on hold till next week since I didn't hear anything back but this morning I got a call that they had the O2 coming but not with a full face mask.  I started to cry and the guy said not to worry he would make sure the mask was sent today.  So I guess I wait. and see.
 
Please Oh God let this work.  I need to be able to rely on something that works to get me through the next 4 weeks.
 
Praxaire has been great with me in case anyone else may need O2.

Make sure that mask is a non-rebreather. When you inhale, all you're getting is from the bag (100% O2). There should be no holes in the sides into which room air is mixing. If you have to, cover the holes with duct tape and move the mask away from your face when you exhale. If the circular sets of holes have a little rubber diaphragm over them that close them off when you inhale, you should be good to go.  
 
Also, think about ordering a clustermasx from Ben www.clustermasx.com
 
All positive vibes this will work for you.

Thank you for your support.  I'm so hoping this works.  I can't believe how clusters change who you are.  I'm just so depressed.  This will all change once they break.
 
Ok so when do I use this?  Is this as soon as I feel one working up?  The mask is a non rebreathable mask but if it has hole it in i'm to cover them?  I think the flow rate is 10.
 
Just long deep breaths?  how long do I stay on this?  with this abort them or just for the time I'm on the O2?
 
Sorry for the questions just not sure.
