Susan’s Story with an Oxygen Concentrator

“Going to the zoo always means walking long distances to see the best exhibits and nothing could stop me when I carried my oxygen with me. I had COPD/Emphysema and as a retired Park Ranger/Natural Resource Specialist. It was my job to monitor our black bear population at our park. When I had to go to Duke Hospital to prepare for the transplant, I took my family and spent time with the animals at the Durham Life & Science Museum to enjoy my days waiting.”

“I had COPD, and with my oxygen, I was floating on air. The photo was taken just before I jumped from a platform on a zip-line and soared through the trees. Only what every disabled park ranger should be allowed to do!”

  2. Inspired by Annette riding on a Harley with the portable oxygen concentrator. I am currently recovering from COPD and CHF I look forward to being able to ride a bike again and I’m well on my way. I was concerned that a POC may not function well on a bike looking forward to trying it. thank you for sharing the article. If you have any suggestions in terms of equipment for operating the POC in conjunction with a motorbike, please let me know.
