Thanks Denny.........yeah I saw that but it says small cylinder..then I saw an article about the Eurostar train getting stalled in the underwater tunnel and they were running out of oxygen and even asked people not to breathe so hard??!!?? I didnt read the article well you know cause.......might need more ativan than I will have lol

a cylinder would add O2 to the air where a concentrator will take air out of the room right? lol. I won't have a tank. If someone on here hasn't done this and knows yes I will have to call them or email I mean. This trip has been one hurdle after another over taking my O2 lol
