,
Sorry to hear of your experiences. Glad you are still here for your family. I know all about hospitals and holidays. Last Christmas I had to call an ambulance for my wife who had complications two days after neck surgery. She was aspirating and ended up in ICU for the entire week of Christmas. I will not go thru the whole story. Not fun for anyone involved. Hopefully this holiday season will be much better for you. Glad you got oxygen and it sounds like it helps you. Since you do not like the hose and cylinders for your oxygen, I was wondering if you have access to an Inogen portable oxygen machine. That would be ideal for you to be able to be more mobile without having to drag oxygen tanks with you. From your post, I can safely assume you are not in the US. Australia perhaps? If you can, check into the Inogen portable oxygen generator. It would be a game changer for you. Take care and God Bless!
