    Steve, tell me again about your lemon lime routine. I don’t think I could take all the other stuff

    It  reads 192 mL, 5 reads 80 mL.

    Pits a little heavy to put in car but I have gotten use to it.  Depending on what number I’m on the battery lasts 2-4 hours but almost always near an outlet.

    Thank you for answering.  I hope I’m not expecting to much from rehab, just exercising sounds good and I hate to exercise.  I did a stupid thing thing this week and mixed up two meds that I have been taking for at least a year.  I am lowering my prednisone to 15 so I cut my 10s in half, I also take a mild antidepressant, both are white round.  After I cut several antidepressants up and put them in my container I realized what I did but left the whole one in there……..so I was taking 5mg prednisone and 20 antidepressants, so I was short of breath nut happy!!
    Charlene, i have you mixed up with someone else who writes a lot, maybe you know.  She was a marriage counselor and she is the one on 15 with activity.

    I’m on both pulse and continuous, continuous at night and durning Thea’s when I use my home machine.  When I go out I use my pulse. We don’t have liquid oxygen at the ompany I use. How long does rehab usually show something.

    does Charlene ever answer some of these posts, because I thought I read that she was on 15
