The Obsession With Walking..Why?

ha I'm trying to get there. I've gone to an inpatient facility a couple of times to try to get off of it and unfortunately I was told I wasn't ready which was a huge blow as I was so excited to get rid of the thing just have no clue. Though it's not like I'm  breathless when the vent is turned off my problem is more of a stamina issue. I am trying to keep working at it so in the future perhaps I'll be entirely vent free. If not... then I at least hope to only have to use it at night. I read a story about a woman that was able to get to the point where she didn't have to use her vent during the day (still had the trach and collar though) and was only put on it at night.
