I live in a big older farmhouse. I have been on oxygen for 2 years and I am still learning. I have a 50' oxygen hose because my room is 50' to the kitchen. You can imagine all I've entangled. But I'm learning also. I was always whining about the rubber on my cheeks and tripping on the tube running down to floor. The other day my sister says why don't you run it down your back? I said something like how? She turned it around, ran it over my ears, and slide that little roun,d rubber thing up. That was it. It follows me now. I love it. Now if this is something that everyone knows, well sorry. I didn't. If you didn't know, try it. I love it. I don't sleep with it backwards. I'm afraid of laying on it. Also you should ask your doctor if its ok. Thanks
