I am on oxygen 24/7 (3liters). What can I do to avoid disrupting my daughter's wedding ceremony?

Your daughter is right. It's not going to disrupt the wedding. When you are taking your seat, just make sure in rehearsal that everyone knows that you need a little extra time down the aisle with your tank so that traffic doesn't jam behind you. Good luck, and best wishes to your daughter!

If she says it isn't a problem it means she already thought about your needs and how to make it work for both of you.

If you still want to try to make things go smoother and not be disruptive you could try getting there early so you can sit down and get yourself settled with plenty of time to make sure you're alright with your seat so that way before the ceremony even starts you'll know you'll be alright where you're at.

You could also ask for someone to help you ahead of time. Ask one person to be your designated helper and sit with you so that she doesn't have to worry because she knows one person is taking care of you if you need anything.

However, because she said this isn't a problem, I wouldn't worry about it. Odds are she knows what to expect and has made arrangements for it.

With today's portable tanks, it will be easy to just carry it with you and go. You can even get a small M sized tank and carry it around in your purse or in a backpack. They are only about 12 inches tall.

Go, have fun! your daughter wants and needs you to be there. I am sure as she thinks back on all her wedding memories, your O2 tank and cannula will barely be remembered! But your presence will be!

I presume you have (or can rent) a portable tank for the occasion. Just make sure no smoking signs are put up everywhere, especially at the reception. My father in law was on oxygen for a couple of years and he still went on with his life as usual as possible.

Simple. Don't make a big deal out of it. If you need to be on oxygen, just bring it with you and do what you need to do. Don't apologize for it or call attention to it. Trust me, no one will care that you're on oxygen.

your not a problem and it won't bother anything. just go to her wedding and have fun. Everything will be fine. My grandpa was on oxygen before he died and I would have loved for him to be there with me whether he was on it or not I know he was watching over me though. Go to her wedding and be yourself and have fun be glad that you get to have this experience with her.

don't let it bother you,just go and have fun like one said in there answer, a portable tank will be ok and @ 3 LPN and tank will last a long time..it will not destroy or change anything at the wedding..

decorate your oxygen with flowers and ribbons lol, it would be so cute. Oxygen isnt that loud...and she says it wont bother her. I think having you alive breathing is more important then oxygen deprieved lol

Make sure you have a full tank

hide it
