Road Trip Plans Begin

Do we go West or East? That is the biggest question. If we go West, we have to worry about the altitude that we'd be driving through. With my lungs and heart problems, the higher the altitude, the harder it is for me to breathe. So, we'd have to stay out of the mountains. If we go East, the altitude isn't so much of a problem, and I'd be able to see MY relatives or go to Washington, D.C. or many of the other historical places up the East coast. Though, I think we are leaning towards going West. Maybe we can bypass the mountains by going south of them? Anyone have a topagraphy map? *note to self: must find topagraphy map* =o)

So, going on a roadtrip with someone who has oxygen needs, such as mine, is going to be a big challenge. I will probably have to change to another Oxygen provider. The one I use is a regional provider where as a company like Lincare is nationwide. I've used them before and they've actually arranged ahead of time for me in the past to refill my liquid oxygen tanks while on the road. It was GREAT and they billed my health insurance. How great is that??

Next appointment is tomorrow. I'm not too stressed out about it. I get to have a CT Scan on my lungs and then off to the regular doctor appointment after a 6 minute walk. Yuck. Wish me luck!
