Three months later....

Hey everyone,

 I know I Kinda left You guys hanging. But i'm back and hopfully I can write more often.
Let me bring you guys up to speed.

Three months ago I took a ferry to Victoria island,  in Canada. I was finally ready to go back and get some more healling as I did in 2008 four years ago. Back then it.  Back then it took at least two months for me to see  major improvements but there were improvements. 
                  • Cognitive reflexes
                  • Range of motion improvment
                  • Flexibity better
                  • First Independent movement
                  • Scar tishue healed
Well now its three mouth later,  and now I'm seeing Improvements. Just thought I'd share. My memeroy is better and My hand can recanize  more patterns than before
Keep everyone updated,  for now have another wonderful day!

Annabelle Arrives...and dives!




Benj is so happy to see Annabelle as you can see!


Annabelle has been excited to see Canada for a while.  She flew in on Kenmore Air this morning, went to the Moss Street Farmer's Market, went diving with Naomi in the HBOT, ate at White Spot, and then went to the Soundings concert.

Buck by side of road in Urbia

A Soundings Concert with our Friend Kathleen!

The Soundings are an excellent acapella choir in Victoria.   They sing a wide range of songs from Gregorian chants, to traditional Scottish ballads, to the Beetles.  Favorite songs:

Alex, Benj and Marna:  Loch Lomman
Annabelle:  I am a Train
Naomi:  Mexican NO song


Annabelle:   Im so excited to finally see Marna, Alex, Naomi and even Benj again and explore some of Canada with them. This is my first time out of the country and Im really happy to be here, I've already seen some awesome stuff and I'm ready for more!

HBOT and How It Demonstrates the Ideal Gas Law

Marna:       How does HBOT demonstrate the Ideal Gas Law?

First, what is the Ideal Gas Law?    PV = nRT    

Pressure*Volume = number of moles*universal constant*temperature

in the case of diving in the HBOT, V, n and R are constant, then the variables are P and T

Pressure varies directly with temperature, so as pressure increases we would expect temperature to increase.  Conversely, as pressure decreases, we would expect temperature to similarly decrease.

As it turns out, we three can all testify to the temperature of the chamber increasing (whew!) as pressure increases during the dive (to about 20 feet) and decreasing (brrrr!) again while we are going up.  It's so cool to see the Ideal Gas Law work in reality!!!!




We saw a buck and doe in a front yard on a VERY busy street (Foul Bay)







Benj is going Canadian and will soon start busking on street corners in his toque, eh?

Sibling Bonding....

Naomi:        The great highlight of today was going to White Spot a fantastic restruant that can only be

found in Canada my opinion Go for the Ribs! as you can see Benj really enjoyed them as well as me and Kathleen. :) Also we got a bunch of clothes to the best of which for me was a purple Jacket all in all a truly amazing Day.

Today also was a good day of Hbot I noticed that I personally can breath a lot deeper than when I first started and my lungs feel a ton better pretty cool. Today also happened to be the first day I started to learn how to play a guitar and what better way then to learn from a master that spends hours play the one and only Benj thank to him i can now play big  E, something,  something and more somethings!

Thanks Benj.

he final frontier.

CANADA!

Full of Canadians who dart in from of cars at the most inopportune times.

Flooded with people who are cheerful for no apparent reason.

Exploding awesomeness in every direction.

Not a bad place to vacation, ay?
