Day 2 of HBOT

Here we are in the larger tank with our diving masks on, just prior to our morning dive.




For this mornings movie, Speed Racer! Well Speed Racer for the kids and relaxation for the mom. Naomi was able to do a few more exercises in the tank, but really just wants to watch her movies unimpeded by the pesky mama and her exercises.

After HBOT, we went to MEC (Mountain Equipment Company). It's like a Canadian version of REI, but more like old, old REI than the REI of today. We picked up some bike riding gloves for Naomi, and then took a short ride out to the beach. It was a lovely partially sunny day.

We met another traveller to the HBOT center today. He raved about the wonders of HBOT, and its healing capabilities. Skinny is his wolf-hybrid that is TOTALLY WAY Cool. Since we neglected to get a picture of Skinny-the-wolf, here is picture of our dog that we miss very much:




Our second dive was unremarkable. We went down a little deeper, so our ears hurt for a bit. Naomi watched "a girl and her horse" movie, Moondance Alexander.
I feel like doing the therapy is healing in the sense that our normally very, very hectic lives have slowed way down. I, the mom, personally am feeling very relaxed.
No healing to report yet though.
We had a vitamin b12 shot today to enhance the effects of hbot.

On an economic note, Canada is certainly not feeling the same effects of a recession that we are in the NW. While housing prices have dropped a bit, employment seems to be high, and although the Canadian government is doing a stimulus package at the behest of the American Government, its quite small in comparison to ours ($50b versus $7trillion).

Cheers, eh!

Hi Marna,

Glad to hear its going well for you all and that the HBOT is comfortable.
Looking forward to hearing about the gains when they come...

I have a question about lodging-are you paying your friend any rent?
