  1. FWIW, I emailed a person at the Iowa state government agency that regulates oxygen suppliers, just to find out what rules or policies they might have about adequately supplying people with CH. Didn't give any information at all about your situation, of course. Will let you know what I hear back. Not optimistic, of course, but you never know. There's a list of phone numbers at their website, too: https://pharmacy.iowa.gov/contact-us/board-office-staff Unless one of your leads pans out quickly, I would seriously consider getting welding O2 to tide you over. An 80 cu ft tank will give you about 3.5 times as much O2 as an E tank. You'll need a regulator, and as has been noted, welding regulators bought at a welding supply place are typically expensive and typically don't come with a barbed adapter for mask tubing. If there's a Harbor Freight store near you, they will likely have one, and Walmart also typically carries them, or will ship them with two-day delivery. Amazon has a bunch, and if you're a Prime member you can also have two-day delivery (or pay to get it if you don't).

  2. Wow! More expensive than I thought they would be, but that's just me being naive and not thinking it through. Of course they are going to cost that much. That photo did make a lot of sense of the different sizes though. Thanks.

  3. Try this number up here they don’t list numbers to call the local office here isn’t listed and they don’t give it out. This number is a local NJ number but goes to the national call center. They often won’t give out a price until they have a copy of the script. +1 (732) 905-1400 let ya know how it goes. My doc had an Apria form he filled out faxed in and a week later oxygen just showed up. They had M tanks and they have told me it’s their policy to give M tanks to cluster patients. Usually 2-3. You need another script to get E tanks for the car. My drivers just give them to me. Apria doesn’t count the tanks according to the guys
