Come Warm Weather We Plan On Moving. Where We're Going Is A 5 Hour Drive. Has Anyone Else Made A Move Like That?

Moving is a lot of work! A five hour drive isn't so bad, it's the getting ready, packing up, moving and then unpacking that's the hassle! I would try to spread the work out so you don't end up completely exhausted before you're done.

Are you on oxygen @A MyCOPDTeam Member? that would be good to know before answering you. I have certainly driven 5 hours, but I don't use oxygen. Take frequent breaks is what I would suggest.

Thank you ladies for your comments. @A MyCOPDTeam Member you were right, I should have given more info. @A MyCOPDTeam Member I take meds but I have no really bad pain that I take meds for. I do have to make several stops or I will be so stiff I won't be able to move. @A MyCOPDTeam Member The packing and unpacking would be hell for me. It would never get done. My kids are at the end of the line for us. They will help get us unpacked. Thank you all.🥀

I guess I should have been more explicit.. YES I am on oxygen 24/7. My significant other is also on oxygen.
The moving and packing us going to be no big deal. My son in law has told me not to worry about that, they will get us moved. What I really need to know; 1. we are both retired and on Social Security 2. Our oxygen company is here in Northern Michigan. We are both on 24 hour oxygen. Once moved, we will not be back up here. How do we complete this move? With the oxygen and concentrators? Any info is greatly appreciated.

I have bad body pain, and took prednisone 10 mg, for a move three hours away. Really helped
