Title: o2 mishap
Post by queenofpain on May 2nd, 2009 at 5:14pm
Last night during an especially long dance with the demon, my o2 tank ran out................^*$%^&.  My husband wakes up to help, but doesn't really know how to hook up the regulator, what a feasco!  I could not function enough to even tell him what to do, all I could do is stand in the hot shower and moan while he figured it out.
Moral of the story : teach your spouse, or have a back up set up!  
I won't do that again! :-/      THANKS FOR LISTENING, IT HELPS!

You aren't the first or the last this will happen to. I'm sorry it happened to you and I hope it doesn't happen again. Been there.

Last year I started using self injections and the first time I needed it I was shaking so bad I bent the needle trying to load it. My wife got a quick lesson in how to load an injection. "help me!"

Once during a bad hit, my O2 tank went empty, and in the dark it took me what seemed like an hour to hook up a full one. More like 10 minutes.

In '03 I was going on a long road trip and took 2 E-tanks with me just in case. 250 miles from home I got hit bad. In those days the E-tanks came with a plastic seal under the tape on the tank. Well the first time in many years there was no seal under the tape, so I couldn't use the O2.

To make this shorter, I got a seal from an E.R. the next day. After the longest attack I've had in 21 years.
