'Tip of the day'

Hello all,

I spoke to my oxygen delivery company this week to order a LOX Dewar and some nasal cannulas for the 02 flasks,

The call handler asked me if I wanted short or long cannulas ?

Short I replied, I trip over the longer ones.

The call hander then cheerfully said the longer ones for were only good for skipping with ! I told her I haven't tried that yet.... but thanks for the Tip of the Day.

Anyone tried it ??? hahahaaaaaa.

Have a great day y'll

Pauline

Surely you still need pipework to connect your short canula to the tank/dewar. I am mobile around our flat so there are yards of 2.5mmm pipe trailing me!

No, LOX Dewar to fill portable flask from it . Flask is sitting on top in its back pack. Flask is used outside the house.

LOX DEWAR

Aha. Thanks - all new to me! I use a concentrator in the house, with tank back up, and a mobile concentrator when in the car or on my scooter.
