Short Bio

I was diagnosed with IPF over a year ago.  My pulmonologist had me try different medications and inhalers.  At my last visit, he put me on Oxygen.  It is definitely helping.  I am trying to adjust to cords, particularly with the Caire portable unit.  I get twisted up in the cannula cord, the car charger cord and the seat belt.  I would welcome any suggestions!  Thanks.
