A Successful Trip
A Successful Trip. In October, shortly after I purchased my Inogen portable oxygen machine, my daughter and I took a two-week cruise together. Each day that our ship was in port, we went on one of the Shore Excursions that was offered by the cruise line. I always took with me a big, roomy purse, in which I carried money and other essentials, plus my Inogen oxygen machine. We walked a lot on these day trips and I grew tired and short of breath. At that point, my daughter would say, "Do you need your oxygen?" I'd say "Yes"; we'd hook me up to the machine, and turn it on. In less than 15 minutes, I was breathing normally and ready for the rest of the day's activities. One day, a fellow passenger asked my daughter, "How do you and your mother like that portable oxygen machine?" and my daughter answered, "It's a godsend!"
