What have you bought recently?

I wish my dad would use the glasses I got him for Christmas.
He sits in the armchair and falls asleep with his glass in hand and drops it in his sleep. Water all over the floor. Quite often.
The ones I got him have lids, with a drinking spout on the side. But he's not into change, so I continue to hear the glass drop out of his hand, sometime from midnight to three am. 🤷‍♂️
 

Well let's see I just purchased today on Amazon a dash cam, a oxygen meter finger clip and a oxygen concentrator (battery operated)

The interesting thing is that they can do a high of 93% of pure oxygen just by grabbing and filtering the air around us, but if I wanted medical grade oxygen, then I'd have to get a prescription.

The reason for the oxygen concentrator, is mainly because having suffered from covid. If I walk 50 ft I am out of breath and I'm going to give it a shot and see if this helps me in those moments.

If it does, then yes I'll probably be buying more stuff to use for some interest that I have, which I can't do it this time because I couldn't physically carry out and carry the items that I'm thinking of buying.

Considering medical grade oxygen is 99% pure and so this filtering out to the point of 93% with no tanks is pretty damn impressive.

As stated above I can go 50 ft and then my breathing becomes rather difficult and I'm left gasping at times or I have to stop to catch my breath.

I did go to the doctor and have a spirometry test, however they walked so slow I didn't register any major drop and plus I had already used my inhaler to enhance my lung abilties.

So they wouldn't refer me to pulmology and so I'm rolling the dice on this ($290) and hoping it helps. It's not for everyday use, but only when walking.
 
Yippee. Amazon must have got wind of my being mad at them. The potassium came about a half hour ago. I trotted right out and mixed it up and used it on four of the guara plants. Too hot to do more. Maybe later or not until tomorrow morning. It's cooler in the morning.

Geez. Instructions say apply weekly during spring and summer. Weekly? Who the heck can afford that?

It says on the video it provides 99% oxygen at 6 liters. The spirometry test is sitting down. I would tell them that it's when you're walking faster. Do you by chance have sleep apnea?

Yes it does say that for about 15 minutes. I'm afraid I'm going off a previous item, which claimed a 93% concentration, I hadn't watched the video till now.

I think they were looking more for how much oxygen was staying in my bloodstream when I did the walking test. I have had a spirometry test before also a PFT.

I do use albuterol and spriva. If this doesn't help, I'll just resign myself to getting a electric mobile device.

I do suffer from sleep apnea also, but not medically checked.

You should have the sleep test done and get one. It helped increase my lung function after using it. My lung function was at 42% before the cpap. Also they have other medications but a visit to the pulmonologist would be helpful. You may have to tell them you'd like a referral. Sometimes you have to be your own advocate.

I don't know that is the best model for you. You are such and active guy. I think you need one like my husband had. It was portable in the way it was able to be taken anywhere he went. It was in a black bag with a strap that he just put over his shoulder. used anywhere in the house and be taken with him everywhere. It allowed him to keep working, travel, live a normal life. Push that doctor to get you one.
