So when I’m sitting down doing nothing my 02 sits around 93 but if I get up and wash a dish or do anything it drops down into the 80’s. QUESTION, do I simply keep oxigen going or ????

I don't understand: are you on oxygen when you're sitting but yoy turn it off when you get up & exert yourself?

Marty, how were you told to use it? That's what you should be going by. If that high reading is obtained only because you're both resting & doing oxygen, of course it's going to drop as soon as you turn off the air, get up & start doing things.
Where I live, few to zero people get O2 solely becausr of their lungs. Instead they get it if they have a high stroke risk & bad lungs. If you have heart issues, the oxygen cannot help you if you have a heart event without that oxygen on. And it's not helping your oxygenation when you don't have it going.
Don't get me wrong: my ex has been on it for many years, 24/7. I pray to God that I never need it or that, if I do, I refuse it. But here's the thing: no one wants a stroke.
Please talk to your doc/nurse/ pulmonary rehab about this.
