Apparently I am breathing better. My oxi-meter is showing mid-90s
without having the concentrator turned on and the cannulae up my snoot. That's a good thing. Initial set-up setting on the concentrator was 6
L/M. If I can maintain the mid-90s without help the O2 bottles and the concentrator can go back to the home-hralth store for womeone who
really needs them.
6 l/m is a pretty strong concentration. Your lungs must've been
congested like New York City traffic. I'm glad you're doing better.
Even with my heart issues, my oxygen blood levels are around 97-98.
Just had a pre-op appointment with a nurse at the VA concerning an endoscopy/colonoscopy procedure I am due to have on June 2. She
listened to my heart and said it sounded really good for someone who
had two heart attacks.
I see my cardiologist tomorrow. They may still delay that procedure because of that saddle PE I had last November.
I realized today that I never put a "Lunch" category in my MM. Oops. Fixed now.

Turns out they had a batch of bad disposable Oxi-Meters at the
hospital. They came back and paraded me up and down the hall with a forehead unit rather than the finger-wave used previously. Current direction is 2/l per minute. I see the follow-up doc this morning and that's one of the issues I am gong to raise.
An that's another. I'm about due for a Wazoo-Look anyway and with the
amal bleeding that put me back on sick call .... it's time to suck it
up and git 'er done.
That was caused by a DVT that went "walk-about" wasn't it?
As my younger brother says "This getting old lark isn't for pu**ies.
But it beats what's in second place"
I enjoyed baing able to order from their (abbreviated) menu of typical breakfast items between 11 ayem and close of business. 'Cause sometimes you're not up for burgers and fries - but a couple burritos and a hash brown patty would satisfy the inner beast. Bv)=

That is not good at all. You'd think they'd test some things?! In
the hospital, I ask for a 2 lpm oxygen feed as that replces my need to bring my CPAP with me.

No, separate issue caused by the VA denying me the blood thinner I
needed and not telling me until I nearly died. Ah, government efficiency...
As my younger brother says "This getting old lark isn't for pu**ies.

Exactly. I went to basic training with a guy from Sudan who was trying
to get American citizenship. He told me that "growing old is a
privilge that not many have".

Me too! There are a few places like Jack In The Box and Bojangles
where you can order breakfast any time. Of course, more upscale places like IHOP and Denny's are a good choice if you're famished. :D

When I was in the hospital about ten years ago because my gall blader died, I used my CPAP machine with a tube adapter that they plugged an oxygen line into. I don't know what the oxygen feed rate was.

They knocked my last remaining Denny's down to buikd a drive-thru car wash. They've put up a La Qinta motel just off of Route 66 here. I keep hoping. Bv)=
IHOP isn't one of my favourite places. They are trying to re-brand as
IHOB (burgers). And their pancakes never were "best in class", But,
then, nothing at IHOP were was. Plus they've jacked around with their "senior menu"

It's like the Dollar General "seeds" I see here all the time (huge
mounds of dirt where a new DG is going up). There's not a Denny's
within a 150 mile radius of my area and I have no clue why. With two
busy Interstates intersecting nearby (I-26, which I live about two
miles away from, and I-81 which hits I-40 about 70 miles west of me),
I'm surprised there isn't one already.

Our local IHOPs went out of business during COVID lockdowns and someone must have bought them as they reopened. Yeah, IHOP isn't anything to write home about but our local IHOP is pretty decent. Food and service
is good so no reason not to eat there though I still prefer Waffle
House. Our local Perkin's went under several years ago, sadly.

I was thinking of the same tagline!

That's interesting. I don't think I've ever seen that at the hospitals I've been to.

Not only do we all have to eat but deal with age and health problems, sigh.
For my part, I have not been doing a lot of cooking lately but I am
trying to eat more healthy. I am hoping to get a set of teeth this
year so I can start enjoying my broccoli, asparagus, and artichokes
again.

I bet there's a Cracker Barrel though. Bv)=
Our franchisee did outdoor (patio) even w/heaters in the winter time.
And hung on. He also leased the last Denny's location (before they tore
it down) and installed a Spaghetti Shop franchise. It's still under the same ownership - but it's now a "Beef O'Brady's" sports bar franchise.
I wish we had a Waffle House or a Toddle House. We're forced to make do with a Memphis based Huddle House.
You know what they say about "great minds" (Not talking about us, of course.) Bv)=
