Back At Ya Chirley

Hello Chirley,

Guess winter is heading your way. Better you than me. Brrrr. Your Way too close to the Antarctic than I would like.

Anyway, as far as putting Pop on oxygen, doctor said it would not help. His cells are an elongated tear drop. This makes oxygen exchange what it is. Like pushing 5 gallons... opp's liters through a one inch hole, just to fill 5 liters again. His cells are like a boat hull. No mater how big, and how fast the motor will go, it will only go as fast as the hull shape will let it. At least, that makes it easier for me to understand.

Chirley, hope you feel better yourself, and did you ask you doctor about less blood at closer intervals? Takes less time at hosp.

Thanks for all your prayers and concern.

Scott
