I thought that was because of my new bleach blonde hair color! ;) Good news I am home now. Before I left I had 96% pulse ox on 2 liters of O2. 92% on room air. After I had acclimated to room air my nurse and I took a short walk and found my stats dropped to 85% with "exercise". Now I have O2 at home. Quite a mental adjustment it is taking. Jesse- have you ever tried Aquaguards? I have a friend with a port who swears by them. Not sure how well they work personally. But anything is worth a try. Light-headed?

You must have been downright light-headed. The lowest I ever remember being was 92% and that was friggin' miserable and they brought me oxygen. I hope you get your pounding more often today, because I've never heard of something as stupid as building up to 4 poundings per day, unless it's drinking warm water to counteract dairy. I've got 3 days of Tobramyacin and Fortaz left, then I can go back to showering without ripping off chest hair from taping up my port window with 3M foam waterproof tape. Get well soon! I'd kick her for you, but FL is a bit far for that personal touch. 88% pulse ox… dang, girl. You must have been downright light-headed.
