Help please! Oxygen (again, sorry) ?

Why don't you phone today, Fanny. Why wait and worry?

Could you contact the ward he is in and ask for more information about the oxygen? They probably know as well as you do by now that he "isn’t the most gifted of communicators at the best of times"

Crossed posts, Marydoll.

Thank you!
Right. I will do so now

I know nothing I'm afraid but I just wanted to say sorry to hear of your husbands situation*Fannycornforth*.

Right. I’ve done that.
Thank you Mary and Elegran.
It was a very helpful phone call.
I will be back later! x

No experience of oxygen in the home, but sending you love as I realise this must be a stressful situation for you.
Take care

Thank you too, Nams

And maddy!
I’m going now!
Back later x

Hi Fanny

My Mum lived with us and had oxygen in her room upstairs (she was in her 90s and didn't venture downstairs much) It was delivered and set up for us and we (well me!) were told how to use it. I can't remember the name of the company that delivered it . Air Liquide or similar I think.

The electricity company were informed so that if there was a power cut they would make sure we had a back up generator and the Fire Service were told. I think we also had to let our Insurance company know.

The worst bit was getting her to give up smoking once it was fitted...!

Hello Fanny,hope this helps.My husband was on oxygen 16 hours a day.Air liquide installed a concentrator in our dining room along with thin tubing which would reach upstairs and downstairs. It was relatively quiet when switched on .The Fire service installed smoke alarms.We were reimbursed for the electricity used.My husband was a lot more comfortable with oxygen being dispensed this way rather than with oxygen cylinders which were used when he left the house.

My MIL had oxygen at home just for when she needed it but that was many years ago and I'm sure it has all been modernised since then.

I'm sorry to hear that your DH is poorly again, FannyC after his bout of Covid and hope he'll soon be on the mend.

Hello again
Thank you all so much for your kindness
After all that, he isn’t going to have oxygen after all. In fact, I’m not even sure where he got the idea from that he thought that he was, and neither does the (wonderful) HCP that I spoke to
As you can see, I rang the ward as I was told to (thank you Mary and Elegran)
It was absolutely the right thing to do.
I’m confident that things will be done properly this time.
I’ll be back again later x

Sorry to hear your news. Remember to look after yourself too. ??

Hello Fanny Can't add anything helpful but just wanted to say I'm thinking of you.
