      I hope this finds you doing well and having a fantastic summer. I am glad you got the liquid oxygen. Do you like it and get it figured out? Have a great day and week ahead. Blessings.

      Hi Roe, sounds like you are on the right course now. Inbetween all our sillyness, we post a lot of good info on equipment and how to take care of it, tip on making life easier for the COPD'er, etc. Look back at some of the old pages. If you don't see it, ask. Have a great day. Hugs, Laurie

      I take all kinds of medicine but lately I can't walk much without getting out of breath. My doctor has recently put me on oxygen (1lpm while sleeping and 2 while exercising) my problem is total vanity (but its still a problem) - I can where it at home with no difficulty - but I won't go outside wearing it - has anyone had this problem and, if so how did you get around it? any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks roe
