New guidelines come with a detailed symptoms figure which is a great asset in making an early diagnosis. It is essential to introduce this figure to patients as they are often the first to notice anything unusual with their health, eg. unexplained dyspnea. Ultimately, it's up to the patient to suspect that a PH diagnosis is a possibility based on all the symptoms that they experience. This and many other figures in the new guidelines help in allowing patients to be more health literate, and it empowers them to act timely together with their doctors. ❗⚕

Good morning it's Terrific Tuesday 😊 Whatever the mind believes the body will achieve. Motivation starts in our brains and determination keeps you going. We MUST get into this way of thinking. YES WE CAN! We live with the disease so we know how tough it can be. So we pace ourselves and get it done ✅ How are you going to be determined today 🙂

Fall is upon us.
Please remember to do your breathing exercises. And when you’re on O2 (or caregiver) and are struggling to get it all done… don’t forget many grocery stores can do online shopping to pick out your items for a quick drive-through. For those days when you just can’t do any more but still need food or supplies. 🥰

This day 8 years ago. It was a “good” day where mom didn’t need her oxygen tank. She was so happy to see the hedge being pulled (by yours truly) that she was really energetic. I remember it well. For those on O2, some days are better than others. Take advantage when you can. Enjoy. Live. Laugh. Smile.

September is Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month, established to help raise awareness of this disease through education and fundraising to aid research on the condition.

Hey everyone. Thought I would just share these. Meanwhile, are those of you on O2 doing your breathing exercises? Are you caregivers making sure to schedule tube replacement and mask cleaning? Just a reminder as breathing exercises are so important. And cannula replacement helps prevent illness and infection. 🥰🥰🥰. Take care all!!

Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month September 2021 | Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis

Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month September 2021 | Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis Pulmonary Fibrosis month was established to raise awareness of PF and help patients, carers and families who have been affected by this terminal condition.

I know it’s a little early but there are some regions of the US where the weather is cooling. It is important to continue to get up and exercise. Backpack tanks can help.

Well I did this thing… IT’S A RELAUNCH! 💗 Thank you Keren Brown for your work on making Oxygen Mobility’s site, to be so much more user friendly!! I did my best but it was just not what mom and I were trying to accomplish. In keeping with the goals she had, we will now have a fully functioning blog all together with the backpacks 🎒 and easy contact. It’s a beautiful thing!! We are aiming for today or tomorrow. Please keep looking 👀for it. And because it’s summer and I want to help those on OT and caregivers enjoy the great outdoors as much as possible… the backpacks are on sale until the end of the month!!!! Woohoo!

Yes!!

💯 so true that it is assumed that COPD is a direct result of smoking. But second hand does just as much damage. That’s why is so important to quit now and by all means, don’t force your children to inhale it in the car or home… you are sentencing them as well!!

I wish people knew.

If I had a dime for every time my mom said, “I wish we could just go….” in the beginning of her journey on Oxygen Therapy. As the saying goes, I’d be rich! No, but really the point is that she felt trapped and it took a bit to figure out what it would take to allow her to be able to go out to dinner or go on a weekend trip. Please send me your questions. I am a real person who was a caregiver for my mom who had COPD, PH, AFIB, used a BiPap, struggling with BP and water retention. You name it we chatted it, monitored, reported, tweaked meals (made almost everything from scratch) and researched how to make it better. Even if you need to vent, I can listen. 💗. 👍 Like and Follow for more information and tips as they post. 😉. Stay safe and be careful of the heat!! ❤️❤️

Well, I finally got some real help. My tech savvy only got me so far. 😉. I am excited to announce the new Shopify is almost done and it looks great!!! Much easier for getting through the process to purchase an oxygen tank backpack 🎒. Keep an eye out!! The new store and changes to include a blog and a few other nice features to help both caregivers and those on OT!! 💗💗💗💗💗. As always if you have questions or thoughts, let me know. 🥰

Opening up seems a daunting task, especially when asking for help!! I get it. I am that person. The thing about it is, whether it’s you on Oxygen Therapy or you are the caregiver, there is so much to know about options that allow you to get back to living a life and not feeling trapped in your home 🏡. I am here for you. I have been down the road of the huge learning curve and sometimes it’s not easy. But I am here if you ever want ideas or help talking about who is a good resource to get expert/medical advice or even what questions to ask. It’s hard to know what to ask when you don’t know!! And hey if you just want to share your favorite flowers or places to visit go for it. 🥰💐🏝

Of course exercise is important when on oxygen therapy. Especially breathing exercises. And I encourage it any way I can. We developed a backpack for the smaller, easier to travel tanks. As always, let me know if you have any questions. ❓I want to also help the caregivers of those on oxygen therapy!! Meanwhile more flowers from the gardens for your enjoyment. 😉🥰. If you are interested in a backpack 🎒 you can order on my Shopify or Amazon!!

More flowers for those on oxygen therapy who struggle to get out in hot weather.

Ok, today’s installment of flowers for those who struggle to get out.
Enjoy!! ❤️

For those on oxygen therapy who have a hard time getting out in hot weather… some flowers from the garden are here for you to enjoy!!

For those who know how much effort it takes to just go outside 😉 some more springtime flowers to enjoy.

For those who want to enjoy spring a little more and struggle to get out of the house on OT… the poppies are just starting to pop here. They are so vibrant. I share in hopes they bring a smile to your face! 🥰

❤️ 🤍 💙 🙏 Remembering those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Ahh springtime! If on Oxygen Therapy, getting outside might seem daunting! Fortunately with oxygen tank backpacks 🎒 that can be easier. Message me if you need into on how to travel on oxygen or visit OxygenMobility.com and if you want a backpack that covers several issues we found to be troublesome in other backpacks, please order from OxygenMobility.myshopify.com and order one that we designed!!
💗.

May is around the corner and so are beautiful days in the fresh air!! UPDATE on the oxygen tank backpacks 🎒!! I have changed the landing page slightly (as I am not an expert on web design). If you’re interested in the oxygen tank backpack with a clear pocket and other features… please go to OxygenMobility.myshopify.com and order one. Click on the backpack 🎒, contact your O2 supplier and order the backpack tanks… you are now free to move about the gardens (or travel, or visit grandkids or whatever you want to do).💗🚞🛥🚗

Spring is finally “springing” here in Maine. Earlier for those of you in Southern states.
If you need help with how to be more mobile on oxygen therapy and you are using that huge tank, let me know! There are options you may not have been offered!! 🎒

On oxygen therapy, some days it seems as though doing our best isn’t what it used to be, but that’s ok! If you are only able to make it to the park for a stroll 💐 and not hiking up a mountain, let’s see what we can do to make that happen! I have made a mistake that my mom always used to point out… when you go to OxygenMobility.my Shopify.com it doesn’t say “to buy click here”. You need to click on the 🎒 backpack to purchase it. 😬 So I am working on that!! I want you to have as much freedom as possible while on Oxygen Therapy!!! 🚗🛥🚞 For whatever you are looking to enjoy. Please let me know if you ever have questions.
