Every Wednesday and Thursday Delroy tops up my oxygen tanks - the big base tanks of liquid oxygen that sit in my office and at home. This can't be easy work given the size of these things, the rigamorole he goes through to get the office tank up to the 16th floor of BCE Place and the fact that he is working with a liquid at minus 183 degrees Celcius.
Delroy looks a fair bit lighter that the tanks are but he is ever cheerful and, as it turns out, not just interested in getting me oxygen on time but is also very concerned about how his "patients" are doing.
The other day he called ahead as usual and asked how I was doing and I responded that I was half empty and needed a fill up. Turns out he really meant "how was I doing?" and encouraged me to keep positive and keep active. Apparently he regularly reminds his patients of this. Great delivery guy!
