June 28, 20215 yr Jillar. I kind of understand where you being uncomfortable in public. My sweet husband died of skin cancer that spread to his lungs. He had to be on oxygen for 5 years. Had the tanks in the house and a concentrator. My guy would not give up his freedom and they gave him one of the portables he could just wear it on his shoulder. He just hated it when working because there were nonstop questions. He did not want to spend his time on that, he just wanted to be seen as the hard worker he always was. He was so brave thru the whole thing. I would not be uncomfortable at all, you should not either. You have a challenging health issue but you deserve to do everything you can do and to ENJOY your life! If they stare just stare back and if they are rude give them hell. K
July 4, 20215 yr Cool deal on the oxy glasses! Glad you arent gonna let anything stop you, Jillar! Don't know if strength training is an option for you, but from I've read up about it, the stronger you are the easier time you'll have with breathing over the course of things. You want to be able to exhale forcefully so as not to get carbon dioxide build up in your blood. Thank you for sharing the link on emphysema. God I just wish we all hadn't been duped by cigarettes. What a global public health tragedy! Amazing that it still goes on. It's sick.
