They look like cheap toys but they help with the o2 exchange. They are frustrating as they look so simple and silly but they help. Keep with it. My surgery was a while ago, I am chasing my grand daughter around, working , enjoying life. It took a bit and I was in my 50’s, but I am very fortunate and happy.
