That's great news, I'm sure that Richard will benefit greatly from it & by the end of the PR course will mange more of the 6 min walk. I'm sure he will enjoy it.

Best wishes

Jo :-)

thats good news for you both :)

Great news amagran. Hope Richard (and you) get as much out of it as most people do. Onward and upward!

All good wishes amagran. Keeping fingers crossed Richard's sats will be controlled better as a result of attending the PR. Good luck next Friday with the Consultant.

great news I have just finished mine and it did help.

That's great that you will be seeing the consultant just before the course starts - make sure you mention Richards sats dropping so low on his current 02 levels and ask if it's ok to self monitor and adjust the flow rates to keep them up at 92% when he is active or exercising. Have a great weekend, xx

Hi Amagra.I did the PR and it made me a lot fitter compared to what I was like.Try to help Richard to keep up some exercising at home after PR ,it really keeps me going,the longer period of time they are done over the easier the become.I also made friends at PR and we are now continuing are friendship at our local Breathe Easy Group.
