Title: Got my O2 tanks & a concentrator...
Post by Cruz on Sep 25^th, 2009 at 8:32am

After some back & forth w/ my Dr., insurance & the O2 company; I finally got my O2 in house. They set me up w/ 2 E tanks w/ an 8 lpm regulator. Needless to say the 15 lpm regulator & O2ptimask are on order.

But my Dr. also put me on O2 therapy while I sleep through an Oxygen Concentrator @ 3 lpm. It's kind of awkward trying to sleep w/ a nasal cannula on w/ O2 blowing in your nose. But my nights & days have been CH free since I've been on the O2 therapy.

I'll keep you guys updated on how everything goes but needless to say I'm a happy man! ;D

Good for you Cruz. Sure takes a load off, just knowing the O2 is in the house! eh!
