Hi Carol, these are great points – hospital pulmonary units should also be included in the “no flower or live plants” tip. I remember my mom and how her exacerbated COPD symptoms would result in a trip to the hospital and how she could not tolerate flowers in the room during these times. It’s easy to forget especially when folks do not have a loved one experiencing these issues. Thanks for commenting!

So glad you mentioned the flower issue! This also goes for the pulmonary wings as the strong scent of some flowers can trigger asthma attacks and ,in general , difficulty breathing. Most folks with asthma also have allergies. It’s just a bad idea. Hospital rooms are small and the concentrated scent sometimes runs me out of a room sneezing as well
