Decompression

[oneshot]

This should be fun. Have to go 70 miles one way for 10-60 days. Mess up our whole day. 

Give me drugs each day so I won't freak out. Put me in a tube. I can watch TV for couple hours each day. 

Don't want to do what I did for MRI. I was so drugged up took two days to come down. 

Got to do this because Radiation messed my Bladder up.

Hope it works out for you, hang in there!

Infection?  I assume you are taking Barometric Therapy.

If I ever have to have any dental surgery, I have to do at least 2 weeks of Barometric before and after.  To prevent any infection to the radiated bone which has no defense mechanisms left after radiation.

......and has is benefitted you? 

I know so.....SO.....many people who spend on average of 2 days per week going back and forth, to and from, doctors offices, hospitals, and VA appointments,  and they never, ever, seem to get any better.   Only gradually worse. 

Kinda makes me think that all of that doctor/hospital time would be much better spent somewhere along a calm quiet creek bank, either fishing, or praying, or just sitting in a lawn chair next to a picnic basket in the shade.

             Lets see here,

   Tell this to Pat, @jdmidwest, @MOPanfisher and numerous others here and all over the world. You go to the doctor because something is wrong or being checked early for a diagnosis and treatment. If it wasn't for Pat doing her annual Maintenace I call it I wound be able to wake up to her each morning and telling her I love her. Yes we are all a ticking timebomb and when our time is up it's up. Some things cannot be cured. Our previous lifestyle and how we have treated our bodies over time have an effect on our future.

And that is a personal decision, and usually not an easy one.  On the flip side, like BH, my wife is a cancer survivor….she would likely already be gone w/o treatment.  It’s like playing poker but the stakes are higher.
