True story.....My grandfather had emphysema which caused him to have to carry a portable oxygen tank on his side. One day he was walking through the house slipped and fell into the coffee table and broke a rib that inturn punchered his lung. he was pretty much incapacitated and the oxygen machine was still on and now filling his body like a balloon....several hours later he was found still alive and rushed to the hospital. I will never forget gettin pulled out of grade school and taken to the hospital to see him....it was crazy....his whole face was puffed up and his skin on his arms felt like thin plastic wrap......amazing what you can survive
