Ian,

Have you ever heard of a machine called something like: "Exsufalator
or Coughalator"? There is a machine that will help people with weak
diadpram cough. A local respiratory equip co got one in last year for
me to try, but I could not as I had just fallen and broke 4 ribs. I
have not pursued it further as I found the cupped hand treament and
upper thrust at breast bone to be quite effective while hospitalized
with the rib beak. Does anyone on the BB know more about this
equipment? My breathing problems result from polio,
