A follow up post about the new HBOT. It is set up. Will be testing it after the holiday to be sure we understand how to use this one. It is pretty simple overall, but there are some nuances. I am a bit ashamed to say that I never had a dive in the first HBOT (I have a similar one at home so didn't see the need), but I am proud to say that I have taken the first dive in the new one. Oh boy! No comparison. I suspect those who are claustrophobic will still not be happy sitting in it. I can stretch out in it and Mrs. Lange can lay the chair flat like a bed and not touch the ends. It is also very quiet, not perfectly sound proof, but the outside world disappears during therapy. The AC system keeps the air very comfortable. Maybe not cold enough for some but I had no issues at 72 degrees.
A huge thanks to everyone who helped out. Thanks to the moving crew who managed to get it where we wanted it despite our help. Art, Jerry and Bob who put everything back together after I tore it apart. Nurse Deb and Logan who managed the office and clean up. And most importantly, Mrs. Lange, who gave up a day of rare vacation to allow this to take place. Looking forward to more amazing stories of healing through the power of oxygen.
