To jaime from Sher

[Guest guest]

Hi jaime! I've been away from the board for a few days due to some glitch that appears to be fixed now. I see you are on Apria as I am here in Oregon. I like them ok except for poor customer service, such as not returning phone calls and not relaying messages.I've tried a couple different systems and now I am on the home refill system. There are other portable tanks that can be carried in a backpack but they are a little heavier than what I have, although they do last a little longer. Since I can refill anytime that didn't sway me to the heavier tanks. With Fibromyalgia and severe arthritis I need as light as I can get.Here in Oregon we have stores called GI Joe's. I went there and bought a soft-backpack that is soooooo comfy and feels good on my back. The one Apria gave me is stiff as a board and I can barely cram the tank down into it.I'd like to tease you about gaining weight but I won't. It's good to catch it now. I can't imagine being your size and I'm sure you can't imagine being a size 20!BLessings to you. Sher ipf 5-06

howdy doo dee tutti fruity!

no, no respiratory tech has come out and talked to me about

anything. i don't know much about traveling with the O2 either but

we're going to do our best.

the birds are out on the patio most of the time. i only bring them

in at night unless it's raining.

the m6 tanks (B tanks) as apria calls them, are being scheduled for

delivery for me after some slick maneuvering on their part with

cigna. hopefully it will be before friday!!

i tried taking mine with me and the kids to wal-mart

yesterday...that was a nightmare! me trying to keep the tank coming,

nick in the basket, the basket moving and ashli from driving me

crazy! NEVER AGAIN! when i get the backpack tank we'll see...but

not with this cart and tank. un uh no fricken way!

i have decided to go on a diet! i had to go buy some size 13 capri's

today...this has become ridiculous! it was bad enough when i got

into a size 10..my first double digit size ever!!!! but i be dang if

i am going to look like a blimp. i want one of those ab

loungers...if i can get rid of this jelly belly i'll be ok. from a

zero-3 to a 13 in 9 months from prednisone is driving me mad and

certainly driving my self esdteem into the dang ground. my husband

hasn't been allowed to see me naked in 2 months! i refuse! sure we

still make whoopie...i just don't strip to do it. (i know i can see

it coming now from the men and their comments) lol

mother peggy, you are a dear and i love ya for everything you advise

and ispire me on. don't you ever worry about hurting my feelings or

being too nosy.
