I note some discussion of difficulty coming off the vent. My doctor set up my
vent so my Pco2 stayed high. He said if my Pco2 was normal rather than high, I
would have a very hard time coming off the vent. As it is now I experience no
discomfort coming off the vent.
I am a total quad right now. I can only move my eyes, this is typed with my
eyes using an eyegaze system from L C Technologies in Virginia. I still work
four days a week as a physicist.
