BiPAP is NIV (non invasive ventilation) meaning no intubation involved. That stuff really does work well, but people do experience anxiety while wearing it. Personally if I ever have breathing issues again, I will be all over the NIV because I do not want to be intubated. I have been intubated twice for procedures, but I was quite sedated so I do not at all recall the experiences.
Compression socks are great. Docs love to order them. I hate them. Last year I actually purchased a pair with Donald Trump 2024 on them. I do not really need them, but they tell me to wear them (just in case.) I never do, though I wore the Trump ones twice.
I am considering switching to V.A. Health Care. I hear different things. There is a huge campus just 2 Exits away from me. Actually, I am an approved volunteer there, but they absolutely never call me.
Anyhow, I hope that you do well with your new Caregivers. Good Luck.
thanx.
Loyal should have been Loyola Medical Center.
The PCP said she wasn’t going to use a rescue inhaler but something else which I don’t remember.
She sent the Albuterol Sulphate inhaler.
I am impressed with VA today as opposed to VA in the 70’.s I went twice then and didn’t go back until 2012.
Good luck to you also.
