One more ‘HBOT Success Story’… 

I seemed to connect a lot more with this video, perhaps because she was a female? Maybe also because she spoke about how she still had pain in places? It just seemed more realistic to me & more similar to my experience. 

I would absolutely LOOOVE to hear your HBOT stories, both negative & positive. If you’ve never experienced HBOT, well that’s alright! I’d also love to hear what you think about it…

Wanna try it? Does it terrify you? Are you claustrophobic? Did it work for you? After these clips are you an HBOT believer? Do you have questions? Did it not work for you? Are you totally confused on how it works? Do you think it looks like a fantastic option? Are you having trouble with insurance? Etc…

LET ME KNOW! 

If you have a lot to say & use Tumblr, remember you can always write in the Disqus boxes. Or, you can tweet me @theproject3x5. Feeling shy? Email me: theproject3x5@gmail.com.

Be well!

“Don’t tell God how big your storm is. Tell the storm how big your God is.”  That would be my beautiful foot. Jealous? My poor little toe was bitten by an ant last night. Think of it as the poor-man’s version to one of those fancy Asian pedicures where the fish bite your feet…  That last bit was a joke. Unfortunately, the ant bite was not. Long story short, I’m now flaring quite badly. Amazing how quickly our tides may turn, hey?  Praying for a quick recovery. On a positive note though, I have less than a week to wait for the actual, final, real life, absolute Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS) to be implanted. Woaaah. That’s big. My lower body is jumping for joy (especially now!), but my back is still hurting from the trial and so is slightly worried about it. Ultimately though, I know that this implant will definitely be for the best. For sure. Any last minute tips on what I can expect? Suggestions? Comments? Warnings? Am I up for another round in the ICU? Another emotional roller coaster à la the trial? I’m open and willing to listen to all you have to say. In fact, everything would be appreciated. Though please try to frame the negative warnings as thoughtfully as possible. I’m in pain and so a bit sensitive from sleep deprivation/nervousness. You know how it goes! Thank yooou! xx
