greetings...i have chosen to go to orlando for two weeks of hbot...i leave on july 5 and the twice daily oxygen therapy begins the next day...i have received a promising email from the medical doctor at scti...he'll need a few more non-complicated tests from me before he can render a green light for my trip to kiev...the medical record gathering has been a royal pain in the butt...the hospital requires that you go to them in person when requesting anything (new confidentiality laws plus they're never eager to release info anyway)...

and i've been fortunate that my doctor has been so helpful to me in this area...i'm back and forth to his office more times than i care to think about...my walking still isn't that great so to say it's challenging is not an overstatement...i intend to get the therapy asap upon my return from florida...i'm getting a little nervous about it all but my mind is made up to do everything i can do to rehab from my stroke...i'll be posting more news as i receive it...best to all, richxxx

It was over a year when we traveled to Naples to see Dr. Perlmutter and have the HBOT. I think it is the greatest. Wish you the best of luck. Trudy Weichers

I am so happy for you, it is wonderful that you will be able to hopefully resume life in a better capacity than you have known. May God bless you and keep you safe on your awesome journey. I want to add an experience that is unrelated in some ways to your treatment, but in other ways I can relate to what you are going through.

I have had two strokes this past spring, they have left me with speech impediments, mobility problems, and the worst, comprehension of my daily actions. I have gone from being a single Mom most of my adult life to getting married 10 years ago to a good man. Four months after we were married, he suffered a major bleed-out, consequently we were told we had one year together before we would be facing his end. The doctor's at Tulane Medical Centre thought different, and although we went through 4 years of tests, failures, frustrations we saw him receiving a new liver. I'll never forget the morning he went into the O.R. for his transplant - it was the worst feeling, and best feeling ever - I might have a whole new future with the wonderful man I had married, or I might stand to lose the best friend I had ever known. Ultimately, we won - what a victory! You see, what keeps me going is that I have had the chance to see a miracle happen - and I believe that you will too!

Stay strong, remember there are others rooting for you, your will, will carry you through much and you never are alone - God is always at your side! Thank-you for letting me share this with you! - kelli
