@LTAY1946 I hope your wife will feel better soon.

She's up and piddling around. She can't sit still when she's awake. I wish she didn't have to drag the tube around keeping her on oxygen. I'm encouraging her not to stay up late watching reruns of old shows we used to watch. I can't sit for to long on wore our hips and she can lay to long on a bad back. Old age isn't for sissies.

Glad she’s up and about.

Will do.

And yes, it is interesting and frightening at the same time. At first doctors were absoolutely sure they never heard of any relation between strokes and allergic reactions, but now they seem more interested in investigating and thinking a bit out of the box.

I only wish I could get the physicians to take more interest in my hubby.

I feel he has some things that could be fixed, but I'll never know.

I would love to put him in the Mayo Clinic where a physician sees him for his specialty and so on and so, then they meet and discuss his problems.

That will never happen in his lifetime.

I'm up early sitting beside my wife as she didn't come to bed last night like she normally does. She seems to be breathing OK but I am concerned. I normally am up earlier than she is to take care of the chickens and put the coffee on so when she wakes up it is ready. I see the problem. I've got t wake her up. She's breathing through her mouth and not getting oxygen through her nose piece.

Have a great Sunday everyone.

Is your wife okay?

Inogen makes a small concentrator that you strap on and attach your Oxygen tube to.

I got one for my husband and it works quite well.

Let me know if you would like more information on it.

You are so close to Mayo I'd demand a referral from his primary. That is a wonderful place. I've been through it a couple of decades ago.

She's on a waiting list to get one now. They are back ordered for some time now. When she finally gets it she will still have an emergency bottle to use just in case it stops working. She had one from a different supplier that couldn't keep her in supplies and when she changed over to a new company with excellent service they installed the house concentrator and gave her 2 large bottles and 4 small mobile bottles. Now she is using very little of the bottles. Only on the rare occasion that she goes to town with me. I hate leaving her at home alone and she hates leaving the house.

Somehow when I first read this, I was thinking you truly had a problem with your basement floor. I had just woke from a good sleep and didn't connect the whole story together for a while. Sounds like someone has a good imagination. I got a new grandson Friday night from my youngest daughter. Weighed 5 pounds 11 ounces. Small feller but everything seems perfect about him. Happiness.

That's wonderful!
