Numbers heading south…😡😡

TLCO down further from 49% in April to 39.4% today which apparently is quite a drop as it measures the bodies ability to transfer oxygen through the lungs to other departments.

Hey ho, what will be will be!

Mrs B struggling to find petrol which is not a bad thing as she won’t be able to get to the shops so, in effect we are earning money whilst in Hotel Brompton….🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

Stay safe everyone xxxx

Good luck with the fuel hunt and shopping outing. Leaving for home perhaps Willie Nelson will help to be On the road as you go. Let’s hope for a TCLO change for the better as you leave Hotel Brompton

Safe road trip home

I’m right there with you. Mine dropped from 60 to 49! It has been dropping about 10 points annually the last 3 yrs.

And the cherry on top is it’s become a real race to the potty when I’m out doing the yard work. I desat and pray as a crawl pinched legged to make that bathroom these days! Such fun! Losing bowel control. So feminine, right! I guess I could plant a toilet amongst the yard decor. People have done that. I live rural on acreage. Perhaps should someone notice me sitting they just may think it and me sitting on it part of the landscaping?🤔

Mine did lots of big drops a few years back. I have now been at 21% for about 5 years - my consultants at my London pad (the Brompton) are amazed at how I still do what I do and reckon my body has adapted to working with this lower rate of transfer! Don’t get me wrong I can’t do a lot, no running marathons here, but I’m still only needing ambulatory oxygen. Take it easy 🎈

Good to know you can still do some things as that’s a very low DLCO!💝
