You're making a great recovery Yobo.
Doc Owen is going to tell you the cup goes in your pants and the $40 cuff goes on your arm. Have fun with that!

Pretty much any Covid-19 related medical supplies/equipment will be out of stock online. Either because they are indeed out of stock or because there is restricted purchasing (e.g. for medical professionals, etc.)

I was able to order one from another site a few days ago but it look me a good hour to find a website that seemed to have a legit pulse oximeter.

Be cautious of buying them on eBay and Amazon right now since there are a lot of bad quality products being sold. A sure-fire way of spotting is when the seller is a brand new account or a product only has 6 or five-star reviews in the two days prior to you finding it.

I've been using one of these more for resting HR/recovery for running, but I do keep one on in my flight bag too. keeping a baseline for pulse/02 has helped me not train too hard on days I have a higher HR. The o2 seems to vary a bit but 98-99 seems pretty much the norm.

Not sure if there is any correlation between HR and O2 but I have a pretty low resting HR in the 36-40 range (I run a fair amount and cycle some too) but when I am 36-37 I am usually 98% but at 38+ I go to 99%.


I thought about installing the Guardian unit in my plane, but at $1K seems pretty steep steep and I can buy a lot of the portables for that :-)

That is a good one. The plethysmography (the squiggly line at the bottom which should correspond with you pulse and indicates a good reading) is a good option to have. Nice job of getting your fitness to a level that you have that pulse rate! There are people who get pacemakers for that rate if it isn't slowed due to fitness.

Be safe.
