A cousin, mid 60’s, has been in poor health for a while, including emphysema. He’s been in the hospital this week and has been told he’s gonna need to be on O2 from here on in.

This is new for him and his wife. I’m told they want to sent him home with an oxygen tank.

Any advice welcome, particularly pertaining to mobile devices that can be used outside the house.

When my dad went into Hospice care at home... we used the BEST HOSPITAL IN RICHMOND, VA for that care.

The oxygen generator they issued us/him broke after a few hours... and it took them 3 days to replace...

Never ASSUME ANYTHING in the field of medicine... nor that anyone in the field of medicine actually cares about anything other than money.

When my mom went into Hospice care at home... we used the local rural Hospice folks near her house... they were simply amazing in their care.


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
