Hi, my name is kpnuts196.
I am 52 and have 3 grown up children.
I am a wheelchair user, with spinal problems, heart failure and PTSD. I am also on long term oxygen therapy, due to getting Covid-19 about 18 months ago. I dont let these things stop me from living my life, my way.
Makes for an interesting lifestyle though

Thank you for sharing some information about yourself. I'm sorry to hear that you've been affected so badly by coronavirus, and I hope you start to feel a little better soon. Do you know how long-term the treatment will be?
I look forward to seeing you around on the community. Please just give us a shout if you need any help finding your way around!

Sadly, lots of other people have been affected far worse than I.I am extremely thankful that I haven't lost any of my loved ones to this horrible virus.
Do you know how long-term the treatment will be?
At this point life long I think. I was on half a litre per hour, which is a tiny amount. A few months ago I spoke to an oxygen nurse about being weaned off it.
Then 3 weeks ago a different oxygen nurse doubled my oxygen prescrIptIon to 1 litre per hour, because my oxygen levels were consistently too low.
Please just give us a shout if you need any help finding your way around!
thank you.
