any more?

Wishing you a speedy recovery Miss Deb My husband has been using an oxygen concentrator over 5 years now, so I understand how you must want to get off the O2 as soon as you can. His COPD and pulmonary hypertension slow him down, but we still go out and enjoy ourselves, especially to baseball games and old car shows in the summer. We stay home a lot in the cold weather because it gives him bronchospasm; thank goodness winter is over!
