The only remorse I felt was, not getting onto pumping sooner. Then again, I always had a hard time getting MDI to work, despite constant hard effort, so my expectation was to put some work in. And yes, there is at the least a few weeks work involved getting the pump working satisfactorily, for most people I would guess, and I can see how it would be discouraging to "step backwards" if control was previously tight...

I'd say as things fall into place over the next few weeks, you may suddenly see some real benefits and feel less remorseful. Stick with it.

As for number twos, I know exactly what you mean! My solution was to have something to clip onto beside the toilet - in my case, I tied a strip of nice cloth to the toilet roll holder, it's a dangling "port" for my pump I just pull the pump out of my pocket and clip it to the cloth! Works a treat, for me.
