Wish I could remember his name. good poet but apparently very forgetful as well...
bet he needed cpap for sdb like u and me
We had a great poet named mikemoran. Haven't seen him in a while. His poetry looked "correct", but he forgot to capitalize his name, poor fellow.

Breath stacking is breathing in, then not fully breathing out before that very next breath. That can easily happen multiple breaths in a row, DoriC.

Ideally we expire an amount of air equivalent to the volume we just inspired.

E.E. Cummings would not have appreciated all those capital letters either...

Thanks SWS, so now I know there's an actual term for what I've been describing all along as my hubby's breathing pattern and why he didn't get along with flex, the machine would breathe for him when he was not finished exhaling. He takes short inhales but longer exhales. I've become a pro at watching him sleep!

Being serious for a moment, I hope you have a petroleum accident, catch yourself on fire and there's nothing to douse the flames except battery acid.

Have a Muffy Day!!
