Melissa CH.com Moderator CH.com Alumnus Offline Don't give up! Posts: 7238 Central WI, USA Gender:	Took 3 unused O2 tanks back... Mar 9^th, 2009 at 8:01pm to Walgreens today plus a 4th that I only used like, 200psi out of. I always feel like I'm giving up treasure when I do that. Why can't I just keep them in my basement for the next 18 months??? But hey, at least my cycle is done!!

Reply #3 - Mar 9^th, 2009 at 8:26pm I am never without o2 anymore! In or out of cycle It is within sight of me at all times. I feel a certain feeling of "security" being next to a big ole green bottle, but hey, that's me!

Reply #4 - Mar 9^th, 2009 at 8:47pm Don't get me wrong - while my insurance lets me keep them year-round, they're in the closet when I don't need 'em. I don't need those suckers staring me in the face when I'm supposed to be having the time of my life!

Reply #7 - Mar 10^th, 2009 at 7:35am There is always an e-tank on the floor of my office and six more at the house plus that big ugly m-tank. In or out of cycle, I'm never far from my O2. The only change I make when a cycle starts up is to start keeping one in the car. -Dennis- (who has an unnatural affection for big green tanks of medical oxygen)

Hi my name is Eric and I am a Oxygenoholic. I too share this affinity for large green and silver, shiny tanks of bliss. I wake up nearly every night at 1:58AM to visit my metallic beauty. She hisses, as she gives me what I need; hyperoxygenation.

As my left eye swells shut, and that flame dances in my head, my tank stands tall reminding me that this pain, like all things, will end. The company logo is burned into my mind. I see it in my sleep. Apria, oh Apria. Where fore art thou Apria. Would a gas by any other name taste as sweet? I think not. I can hear it speak when I spin that valve..."Cry havoc! and let slip the dogs of war!...Headache must die!"

Well. Maybe I should see someone about that.

Melissa,

I'm so happy to hear that your cycle is over! Fantastic!!!

Sanna

Thanks so much Sanna! You wouldn't know it today though, my heads been spinning with all the rain we are having.

How are YOU doing? Are you still in cycle? How long does yours usually last for?

hugs,
