Maybe Dr. B can he'p me out here.
My mom (83 years) showed us all, she smoked all her life and sternly resisted all efforts to persuade her to stop.
She did, finally, a few years ago when she began to have to use O2 all the time; carries one of those portable puffer-thingies attached to a cannula all the time, and you can find her at the house by simply following the long, clear tube.
I want her to fly with me at least once before, well, you know. So is there any chance she might be able to fly with me if I kept it low? Maybe if I were to get her a full mask instead of the cannula? Most importantly, what info do I need to provide her physician about the relative rates / means of delivery of a mask vs. the cannula she usually uses?
Just an idea I have, but it sure would be a nice thing to be able to do. Or am I nuts? Thanks in advance!
