    Thats one more reason for them not to hire you. You could probably
    figure out a way to hook up your machine in your truck if it does not
    use too much electricity. Most people have plenty of things in their past
    that can give them excuses not to hire you. I used to deliver very heavy
    objects and have pulled muscles in my back. But there are not many
    people my age that can lift heavier things than I can because I try
    to keep in shape. My medical history is my busness.

    I had a friend that has the same problem with the same machine.
    Part of it came from the fact that he was over weight.
    If that is your problem I would do what I could to lose the weight
    cause there are many health problems with it.

    If you can't get rid of the machine and get a good days sleep
    you have to be up front about it and hope they hire you anyway
    I guess.

    7 minuts without breathing? She must have added up some
    missed breaths or somthing. Somthings wrong with those figures.
    I would hope after 2 minutes she would have done somthing.
