Don I haven’t spent much responding but I like your responses. I need to stop feeling sorry for me.
Thanks Jane, I like to think of my attitude and related behavior as “laughing at the Devil.” The devil of course, our lung ailments. Don
@thumperguy Don, the way I look at it is, if you can get the junk out without the vest then just use it every now and then. At this point right now in my life I can get the junk out with just postural drainage..lying on my back and doing huff coughs and then I do my saline afterwards. I figure I might as well clean them out first and then use the 7% to clean them out even more. Nan
Whatever works as long as it doesn’t carry jail time. Right? 😉
If the junk comes out, maybe you don't need the vest now that your lungs are mostly clear? Or maybe only once a day? I don't know how you have managed all this time - the mere idea of a twice-daily thumping gives me vertigo!
