I actually went for a short walk outside and it was so nice inhaling fresh air after all the wildfires here! Where in the wide world do you live?
Yes I feel much more confident. One question I did forget to ask my Dr...I wonder if it would hurt me to light my pumpkin candles or if hair spray is now a no no.

Yay! I'm in Southern MN - we had smoke yesterday from the fires out west, but gone today with wind from the NW. Where are you? Didn't it feel wonderful to be outside? With his walker, can your husband walk a bit with you?

I have a bunch of lung issues, so candles are always a no-no for me, but once in a while, I put a little spice and/or a lemon or orange half in water and simmer it on the stove for a bit - just set a timer so I don't forget and burn the pot dry!

How I use sprays - bathroom door open, exhaust fan on high, spray quickly, leave the room and shut the door. I thought it was silly, until I realized that our HEPA air filter turns itself on "high" and the poor air quality light comes on - every time I use an aerosol, even down the hall in the bathroom.

Let me know hoe your weekend goes - I bet you will realize in a few days that you are seldom thinking about the $%^&* pulse oximeter.
