Oxygen

[beattie819]

All I asked for was one extra oxygen cylinder, so I could go out for the day and not worry..........buggers haven't even had the courtesy to get back to me. I only asked for one day For Funks Sake. Im going anyway:)

Hi gness
Ill be fine Im a tough old ....I have 2 cylinders that last on full blast for 2 ish hours. Just wanted to borrow one so I didn't have to worry, but they haven't rung me back. I will conserve by turning it off when Im sitting down.If I vanish without trace, thanks to all, you've been great even though I don't post often, youre brilliant! Thanks for your concern.

Oh Beattie what a rotten thing to do to you - do take care and enjoy the day as much as you can.

Home oxygen - have you thought about oxygen concentrators around the house ?

The other things is .... how were you going to manage the oxygen bottle ?
Size E is portable - but small. and an F or G I would have thought to be too cumbersome ( large and heavy ).

For any non tech reading this - the main weight of an oxygen bottle is the molybdenum steel case ( v heavy ) and not the weight of the compressed gas ( rather small ). And someone on it, woldnt have the strength to carry around the largish ones....

and what is your saturation on air ?

sorry to be technical - used to work in the industry....

Hi Peter Pedant. Nice to hear from a man in the know. I have concentrators(2) in , the house, and then big tank outside where we refill the portable ones. Having only 2 portables restricts my going out, so I don't stay out too long.I will be able to manage the bottles, as I have hired a mobility scooter for the day.I will turn it off when I am at rest,, and give myself a blast when needed. I am on 4 litres.If I do pop me clogs, it will be in a fab place, as Im off to Farnborough air show:)
