You all were so helpful with my last post. We contacted my DH's oxy. supplier. In the past they lent us a portable unit to take to Orlando with us. When we asked about getting the oxy. unit (The M-6) for use they told us we needed to get the dr's prescr. We can do that..(right now we have no way of being away from the house for a couple of hours without having a tank with us). We have a huge concentrator here in the house and a tank that stands about 3 feet tall that he puts in the back seat of the car.
When we questioned his oxy. provider about taking it (the M6) to Florida with us - they said they do not have a provider down there. I am not understanding any of this..He has been with this company for 18 months - does this mean we can't change providers? We contacted another company and they said because we've been with this company for 18 months they could not help us.
Tomorrow he has an appointment with the doctor and feels like he will get a prescription to use the M6. Up until now, he has not needed to use the oxy. as he must now..he has COPD.
I am totally lost in this maze of things...If the M6 uses oxy. tanks..how do we get from here to Florida if you can't take the tanks on the plane? If the company he uses does not serve Florida..what do we do?
Thank you again for all your help. This is such a worry...barb
