Sorry for the long post. Have a great day, folks!
'afternoon Eileen,
No need to apologise, it's good to see the progress you're making and I agree that tugging all that tubing and O2 bottle around must be hard, mind you if you were to take up scuba diving it could be quite handy

Re: Good Morning Saturday
I always thought scuba diving would be a really fun thing to try, but no coral reefs nearby, and I'm the wimp who hates traveling and won't fly!Seriously, people are amazing;y adaptable. When I first got the nasal cannula and the tank, tubing, etc., I thought "I can't do this!!!" By day two, was second nature ... annoying, but I could live with it ...
Life goes on
But we're alive and breathing; could be worse.....
