Thanks for the wonderful video and well-put-together presentation. This is very helpful and, in fact, invaluable to anyone going on a trip or a cruise with a ventilator. From a person who has been there and prepared well. This is also helpful for someone with a vent flying because, like you, I would have thought that the airlines would be bugged by someone with all that extra equipment. I was surprised to hear that they were glad and actually welcomed it. Just goes to show some ideas we have are not always correct. So glad all your planning made for a successful trip with no interruptions and was taken to completion. Wishing You the Best Take care, God Bless Russ

You are of great service to many people with this info!
Thank you for your kind words.
I have had so much fun with you since I met you.
Thank you.
Such great advice!!! I traveled last year with my oxygen concentrator and I had an extra set of batteries but what I DIDN'T HAVE was an extra charger, and as you know, those are not usual usb or computer chargers, and in the middle of nowhere, it malfunctioned. I set my battery to charge at night, while I was using the other one and next morning, my battery was not charged at all!!! I am not fully dependent so I could manage without it for a couple of days but I couldn't leave the room, walk or excert myself in any way, so my trip was not much fun after that moment. Thank you for your advice
Thank you for sharing some of your story with me. I am so sorry things were so challenging. I know this will not help you, but perhaps if someone reads this comment, it may help the person. If a medical machine malfunctions, contact guest services. They have access to information about all passengers onboard the ship. If a passenger told the cruse line they were bringing medical equipment on the ship, guest services has this info. They may be able to find someone else with the same medical device. And perhaps, the other passenger may be able to help.
A number of years ago, I was on a cruise ship. A woman's oxygen concentrator charger stopped working. The husband and wife were going to disembark the ship. Guest services scoured the passenger list and contacted people who had medical equipment. They were able to find another passenger with an oxygen concentrator. The charger was not the same, but they were able to get it to charge the woman's batteries. The two passengers were able to work out an agreement on how to get the woman's batteries charged. The couple was able to enjoy the rest of their cruise.
Thank you for sharing ❤️ I hope you enjoy your cruise be safe and have fun 🤗🙏

Thanks for watching.
Hi just wanted to say you are beautiful. I just got my trach a couple weeks ago. I have had lung issues since having covid and now i have to be on a trach. Ive been watching some of your videos. Thanks for all the info
Thank you for sharing some of your story. Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate them.
@@LifewithaVenthow long did it take for you to get used to your trach. Its so tough. I look at myself and feel like some kind of an alien at times
@@larry9770 I am sorry you see yourself that way. Before getting a trach, I was using a BiPAP machine. I had a HUGE mask strapped to my face 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It covered my nose and mouth. I could not talk to people or smile at people because the mask was on my face.
After getting my trach, I could not stop smiling. I was so happy people could finally see my face. When people looked at me, I knew they were looking at my face and not at the big mask on my face.
I see my trach as something which makes living possible. It sometimes gives me trouble, but for the most part, I do not mind it.
@@LifewithaVentthanks sweetheart for the words of encouragement
Hope you’re seas got better! My husband has recently been restricted to being on a ventilator at least 22 hours. How do you get around with all your equipment? Oxygen needs? He has tracheobronchomalacia .
Hello. Thank you for sharing some of your story with me. I use a wheelchair. When I leave my home, my ventilator is placed on top of my lap. When I am at home, I have a ventilator cart which has wheels. My ventilator attaches to the cart and can be pushed around the house. I do not use oxygen.
Do you have any issues with charging in the staterooms?
No. Everything went well.
