Hi BadDay, Have you checked on Amazon they may have one. If not try Google search.

That's a good idea I didn't think of them , I have looked on ebay and found a few in UK which even with shipping work out cheaper than I can get them here

my husband laughed and asked if his car air compressor would work shocked

I don't want to puff up like a tyre wink

Sorry to hear that Bad, hope you find a solution soon. Gum tree is another site that might help. I got a height adjustable bed through them.

Hi Golitho yes I had a quick look there last night, want to hear something funny, a few years ago I brought one of those electric beds it had head,height & foot adjustment  we got it quite cheap well when we went to pick it up I slipped down the curb and broke my ankle spent the next 3 weeks laid up in that bed confused

Sorry I missed your reply. How awful and funny at the same time. You got your money's worth!
Did you find the oxygen?
Hope all is good. Been really busy lately and haven't been on line very often.
Teaching 2 new courses so hard to get my head around it all- keep getting migraines all the time.
Talk about my own worst enemy and then that cold patch last week threw my body into meltdown and I just can't seem to recover even though the weather is stunning now. Everything just hurts.
Hope you are breathing ok.
best wishes, golitho

Hi Golitho
what do you teach? its good your able to get out but Bad it takes a toll on you
No haven't found a machine yet still renting this one the specialist is filing forms for me I might meet the criteria to get a subsidised one had a blood gas don the other day and that showed I need it

as usual the menacing fairies have been at work here hubby has had one of the worst Flue's ive known him to have so he's been quite sick for last 2 weeks and now I seem to have caught it I am hoping the flu shot I got may help it not be as bad but now we are both moaning around, at least I have the oxygen now and boy I need it, I have an appointment with a respiratory guy at end of month

I teach visual arts in printmaking- lithography, etching, relief printing and screen printing. Very hands on, body doesn't cope well at times like now.
I'm losing lots of weight from the pain which is good and bad at once. Makes me feel nauseous.
Hope you get over the flu, my hubby had the worst one- must be going around. I didn't get it so flu shot worked for me despite my WBC count beng so low. Seemingly if I hit 1 I'm in trouble. I'm 1.5 at the moment.
Sorry you need the oxygen, doesn't sound too good to get flu with. Hope you get the approval. I spend so much on my health it makes me feel sick just thinking about it!!!
thinking of you, golitho
