Day 295 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

          Today I am thankful that I am going to the Hyperbaric chamber this afternoon!

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy



Neal W. PollockNeal W. Pollock
The definitive treatment for DCS is hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy, or the delivery of pure oxygen at a pressure substantially higher than that of atmospheric pressure. HBO therapy reduces the size of any bubbles and improves gradients which promote oxygen delivery and inert gas elimination. HBO therapy is typically delivered in recompression chambers
 Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment which enhances the body's natural healing process by inhalation of 100% oxygen in a total bodychamber, where atmospheric pressure is increased and controlled. It is used for a wide variety of treatments usually as a part of an overall medical care plan.

         I hate the feeling of being contained but i am so hoping this will work and give me some relief from pain. I am extra sore, I think it is from sleeping in the camper. 
We have a pop-up camper so it gets  damp inside. We do have a heater in the camper and the mattresses are heated so it is never really cold!  I could never be camping in a tent any more! Our camper is less than a year old and we are finding some issues with it so Dan is taking it back to the dealer this Friday.  Dan had trouble putting it down and finally got it down with help from the guy in the camper next to us. The guy next to us was so nice but his kid was soooooooo whiney!! The kid whined non-stop about everything.  They kept giving into the youngest kid that it is no wonder she whines! She was up early every morning and started whining about wanting a can of soda. For an entire hour we listened to " I want a soda, I want a soda, and then lots of fake crying."  Each day they gave in and gave her a soda so I don't know why they didn't just give it to her to start with! She whined about everything. If one of her siblings had a toy she wanted she carried on non-stop and the parents made the other child give her the toy. The father told Dan he was sorry that his youngest carried on so much so they are not oblivious to it. It was sort of like she had a temper tantrum to get her own way.  She was about  4 or 5 but she learned early to keep up the whining to get what she wanted. I felt bad for the two other kids who only looked about 6 or 7. It is easier to give in when your kids whine and cry but in the end , the parents pay a steep price for it!

Day 120 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

            Today I am thankful for the wonderful day I had on Sunday with my best friend Priscilla, and later with Dan.  I got up and went to a flea market in a close by shopping center.   I stopped at a Giant food store to get a flower for Priscilla's daughter's grave. I checked out and the male cashier asked me if I was Olivia's mother. He said and you have another daughter who was a year behind us, right?  He graduated with Olivia.  He asked me if she was still  at Penn State, what she was up to, etc.  I didn't expect that only because I was about 30 minutes away from home.  He told me that he had to drop out of the trade school he was in because he was in a bad motorcycle accident and has a metal rod in his leg and pins and screws in his collar bone and shoulder. I am not a fan of motorcycles!  I think they are so dangerous, especially because riders don...

       Today is St Patty's Day! Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone!  This isn't a holiday that we usually ceIebrate because Dan and I are not big drinkers.  I don't drink at all, maybe a sip of champagne at a wedding but that is it. Today I am thankful  that Olivia and I are going to the thrift store. I love going to thrift stores. I absolutely need nothing but I always find something there.  My youngest daughter Olya is a great thrift store shopper, she always finds new name brand clothing. I guess if you're pretty and thin, you look good in anything! My girls could wear paper bags and look good! Since it is St Patrick's Day, the thrift shop is giving 17% off of purchases. So I am sure we will come home with plenty of stuff we don't need.       Today was Joe's birthday.  When we called him we asked what my granddaughter Kaylee wanted for her birthday in April.  She will be 7. I asked her if s...

          Today I am thankful that we are having a good time on our vacation in Texas!! We didn't have any set plans and just decided to do things as we had time.  Dan really wanted to visit NASA so we did that and we all enjoyed the visit.  Time just keeps moving forward in life and it is the simple things and shared moments that mean the most.  This was the MOST crowded place we went to on our trip. After Nasa we decided to head to Galveston.  We found a great place to tour.  It was called the Bishop's Palace. It was a beautiful historical house that was once owned by a very rich couple, Josephine and Walter Gresham, and later owned by the Catholic archdiocese of Galveston and became the Bishop's home.  The woodwork inside was magnificent and breathtaking!  Olivia and Olya really enjoyed touring the home.
