Gary made a comment about being able to go camping again with his portable oxygen concentrator......

I'd like to do some traveling--I've not flown since my diagnosis and not sure if I need oxy.....
For awhile after my diagnosis I was almost paralyzed and wouldn't do anything. I've come to the realization there are things I can't do anymore, but some things maybe I can.
Interested in hearing stories from others......:)

I do think I need to plan some sort of vacation this year......flying or going by car....I do think my camping days in a campground are over though....
Brenda and Jarca....you girls rock for going to Australia and California..
Chrissie, thanks. For clarification, I do get out and do somethings; I work full-time, do yoga and exercise with others almost everyday--I just need to look at things I would like to do. Somebody said they wanted to go on a cruise--I think that would be awesome.
Paula (Drink Coffee) I feel sad that you can't get out because of the pollen--can you wear a mask or something? Take care.
Hugs, Moe
