Freedom With the Inogen One G4

I thought I would fill you in on my latest trip to Germany. The trips are really getting a lot easier now thanks to my Inogen. The people at the airport check-ins and airline counters are also beginning to recognize my little machine, so things go a lot faster and without any lengthy questioning. Well, with the exception of the entire ground crew of American Airlines at Dallas airport, but that was a fun thing. They had heard about the Inogen and knew that I was permitted to travel with it but they where curious about it and wanted to learn more. So we had a little show and tell and demonstration :-) of my little machine right there at air side, much to delight of a bunch of onlookers. We all parted great friends, the only regrettable thing was that Allen forgot to take a picture. We did get one in the plane this time though, by the way it fits under the seat just fine, posing it on the seat was just for show off purposes. Still loving the freedom. I will attach the picture taken on the plane. Best and hope you are well.

Before I heard the news that my oxygen needed to be supplemented, I was an independent person. Finding out that I needed to be strapped to an oxygen tank wherever I went was frustrating. I also have back problems and lifting those heavy tanks in and out of my car was exacerbating the problems. Wherever I went, my time away from home was limited by the amount of oxygen in that tank. One day while watching television a commercial came on for the Inogen One. It sounded almost too good to be true. A small oxygen concentrator operated by rechargeable batteries that could be charged while driving my car or anywhere there was a cigarette lighter, two pin outlet or a 120V outlet. I wrote down the phone number and after dropping a tank on my foot and breaking my toe, I decided to give them a call. I was delighted to hear that my insurance would help pay for the Inogen One and soon after, obtained the unit. It totally changed my lifestyle. Freedom!The unit came with a small hand cart or a carrying strap. Because of my back problems I opted for the hand cart. I wheeled the Inogen One and its supplies around on it. The bag that came with it had two pouches. One carried supplies for the concentrator and the other soon became my purse. Everything I needed could be carried around on the hand cart.Anytime I need supplies or have any problems, I can call Inogen and get what I need. The personnel at Inogen have been a delight to work with and are excellent in Customer Care.My neighbor commented one day as I returned home,”boy, you sure get around with that thing”. How true! I’m very happy with my Inogen One.

The day I was put on oxygen my life changed. Many activities were no longer an option. I felt confined to my home and embarrassed by those awful O2 cylinders. They just didn’t fit my life style. The day my Inogen Concentrator was delivered I got my life back. I can be out shopping for hours, travel on senior bus trips, make long car trips. So many things are now possible. I feel like my old self again. If you want your life back, get an Inogen.
