But they're treating me like I am! They have Hospice nurses visiting 2X a week; they have taken over all my meds so there is no more cost to me, among other things.

This all started a couple weeks ago when I went into the hospital severely short of breath. They released me after a couple of days, but I have been on supplemental Oxygen pretty much ever since.

I have a portable unit but it's kind of a PITA to lug around.

Whoa!

No matter what our differences are or have been this is not something I wanted to hear. I hope it is hospice because there just isn't much they can treat rather than because The End Is Near.

Hang in there and you have my choice of thoughts and prayers.

Know someone using a portable unit and she sticks it on the seat of her rollator she uses when she walks and wheelies it around with her...you could probably rent a rollator to try it out.

Try to think positive.

Best wishes.

Sorry to hear that dread. Hang in there and stay strong. Hopefully the Oxygen supplement helps a lot.

Prayers on your behalf and positive thoughts your way. May you be on the upswing and show them that their assessment is incorrect!

Hang in there. Though it seems like it's never going to really arrive, spring is springing. Hope the sunshine and fresh air do you some good.
