Need advice

Hey guys ,

My father in law lives with me and has severe Copd, and was just treated for lung cancer via radiation. The doctors are waiting to see if it has shrunk at all for another 2 months. We see his doctor and pulmonologist every month or so.. they prescribed him an inhaler and oxygen concentration device which does keep his oxygen at 92. They won’t prescribe him a portable one.. and the VA has been fighting with us tooth and nail to not give him one.. even though we’ve drivin 5 hours to see the only doctor they have to check his oxygen levels to see if he can be prescribed one. His oxygen levels without the concentrator drops to low 80s and even 70s sometimes. I bought him a 3k dollar Inogen portable concentrator that seems to be doing ok keeping his oxygen levels up when he’s out.. but I have to put it on 3 liters and kills the battery in a few hours.. so we gotta be quick when he’s out. Anything else I should be doing to help? These VA doctors are almost worthless… one of there nurses even said “he’s lived a good life”.. WTF. I’m worried that when he sleeps he doesn’t breathe through his nose enough.. that may be me just being too worried though ?

Survey

Hey guys,

I got an email from weirdco saying I need to fill out my survey by may 18th.. but I’m not sure if I did it or not.. I think I filled something out last Monday. Not sure if it was what it’s talking about though ?

Hey guys,

I don’t have a lot of time to play games at home anymore sadly. I do however get a few hours a day at work to do whatever I want.. and I’m tired of scrolling social media and playin on my phone. I thought about getting a good laptop… but I feel like it’s a bad deal for a subpar graphics card. I sit at a desk, but I need something semi inconspicuous as far as a desktop setup goes. Anyone have any recommendations? Basically some way to have a smallish but good screen and not to many wires.. if that’s possible.
