First the great news is you have oxygen ! Do you mind telling us more , were you a smoker, have you stopped or trying to stop ? Do you have help at home and can you still do regular things, cook, clean ect ?

I stopped smoking the day I went into the hospital. I had smoked for 40 years. I am using the nicotine patches to wean me off of the nicotine.
I am 57 years old. I married and my husband has helped a lot. He has had to go back to work but I am doing much better. I just keep my O2 with me.
I also have a son that lives out of state and he is able to come stay with me some/work from home.
I very blessed in regards to that. Thank you for your reply.
