It's the end of my second week of physio and it looks like the physiotherapists have a designed a good, balanced program for me. It will mean going onto a different source of portable oxygen - liquid oxygen instead of the small concentrator I have been carrying. I need more like 6 litres a minute when I'm active and not 2. This means a base unit at home and small units that I refill as needed.
On Thurday as I was on the treadmill my oxygen saturation numbers were way down so we cut back the program. I felt OK but there was something going on. By the evening I had all the symptoms of congested lungs and I was coughing and sneezing. So it was off to the family doctor on Friday for a check up and a prescription.
I was interesting that the monitoring equipment picked up the problem before I was aware of the symptoms
So Friday evening dinner was my favourite - chicken soup and antibiotics!

Good that it was caught so quickly. I am sure you will be fully back on the programme soon. xx
