See pulmonologist next week

DPA says she’s going to ask about getting me oxygen. Apparently it’s a lot worse than I thought to repeatedly need to use a bipap for more air because your breathing muscles are too weak to breathe easily.

In fact my DPA came up with this huge list of things my doctors should’ve been doing over the years that she’s shocked they never did. Apparently if I wasn’t developmentally disabled they’d have done them already most likely.

She got me to agree to asking for oxygen by asking me to imagine being able to have it with me going to appointments. Then maybe my breathing wouldn’t feel so weak afterward. I hope I can get it. But with my pulse ox numbers so low so often it’s pretty clear we can make a good case for it.

Also I’m sick of aspirating.
