This is from the wife of slewis36. I need help locating a portable oxygen concentrator. My husband has had congestive heart failure for the last 12 years due to a virus that attacked his heart. In the last month, his health has taken a serious turn for the worst. For the first time since the onset of his illness, he has to be on O2 around the clock. His one remaining dream, (other than a cure) is to hear the wolves howling in the wild. If we do not get a good report from his doctor, I want to do everything I can to make that dream come true. In order to do this, I need to have a portable O2 concentrator, preferably used. We don't have a money tree in our backyard, but I really want to do this for him. We have a large concentrator for the house and some travel-size tanks, but the trip will take several days. If we had a portable, battery-operated concentrator, we could use rechargable batteries & solar recharger. Any information would be appreciated.

This may not be a knife problem, but it is a survival problem. Please understand that in no way are we asking for anything other than help in locating a portable , battery concentrator. I saw one in Cortez, Co. when I had to drive my step-son out there. A lady working at Wally World had a purse size concentrator that ran on 10 D-cell batteries. That was in 1990. That is what I am trying to locate now. My wife wants to take me to hear the wolves, and as much as I would enjoy that, I am more concerned with a long power failour. With a battery powered concentrator, rechargeable batteries, and a solar recharger, I am good to go no matter what happins. Knife Knuts are all over, and in all professions. Thank you,,slewis36
 
I am so sorry to hear of this. I wish I could help on the O2 problem but I don't know the answer. :confused:

I wish you both luck in this. Take care.
 
could you rent one of these from a durable medical goods provider? may save you the cost of buying it and would be able to turn it in after you used it, thus you would not have the large outlay in cash.

just a suggestion, i dont know if they rent these things, but a few phone calls to the providers in your area would answer that question.
