I haven't smoked for 30 nyears. But the lungs aren't very "self-repairihng"
And 45 years of 2 packs per day Camel straights did a lot to screw them up.

I'm not an "out-and-0about" guy so much anyomre so being tethered to the
concentrator is not onerous. And, I've found that it lets me aleep better
(and longer) My pulmonologit says that as long as we con nmaintqain between
88 - 92 (or higher) on the oximeter it's golden. I had been dipping into
the high 50s.

Only bad thing is I tripped over my tail (O2 line) and when both my 
brother and my roomie couldn't get me up they call 9-1-1 who came, got
me vertical, then into a chair with a choice. Promise to go to Express
Care and get bandaged poroperly in the morning or they would throw me
in their bus and take me to the E.R.

I took the first option. Now all I gotta do is heal up. Too baD I can't 
blame booze - but I've not had a drop in over 10 years.
