Your post really resonated with me. Earlier this week, I had to take my dad to a hospital emergency room. He has been struggling with COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) for over 20 years. His greatest fear has been to end up needing liquid oxygen to breathe and he has done everything possible to avoid it. Until now. Although I admire his perseverance and courage, it seems that his refusal to start using oxygen earlier complicated his situation. The doctors in the emergency room said they could barely tell his lungs were functioning, his oxygen level was 86 (I think) and they were concerned about possible heart damage. After draining his lungs of fluid, they sent him home with oxygen cannisters. Since we have not yet found one of those lightweight, small portable containers that looks like a thermos, he has to drag the container around with him on a cart. It was very hard to watch when I dined there the other night. His attitude is better than I feared and I think, if we can get one of those small portable containers, he just might not give up or refuse to get out of the house.
