greetings...i flew back to new york this afternoon...btw jetblue treated me wonderfully...a skycap met me with a wheelchair at the curbside check-in...i got my boarding pass there then he took me thru security..beep

beep beep...and right to my gate...the flight attendants were just as helpful...they changed my seat to the first row...the whole experience of flying alone was virtually anxiety free...well except for using the bathroom during some turbulence......i went over to my bank to make the wire transfer to scti...ouch!...lol...truthfully tho i'd choose to spend my very last dollar on this treatment...it's a whole lot of dollars for sure...the fact is that this stroke has devastated me...and another fact is that i can easily live for another 30 years...it seems to me that i can't afford NOT to spend all this money for as much return as i can possibly get back...now to jump to the 02 therapy...no amazing returns occurred in 18 treatments however i do know that i benefitted from this therapy...i'm the expert and authority on how my body is functioning...i have noticed subtle improvements...subtle is real...one example is that i swear i almost extended my fingers a couple of times in the past week...certain turning movements seem to have improved also...i believe in the science behind hyperbaric 02 therapy for stroke survivors and i would have definately stayed for more treatments but my stem cells are waiting for me in kiev...i may well return to orlando for more hbot after the cells are introduced...it's also time for me to get to out patient pt and ot to do some more varied work/exercises...i stopped my homecare pt and ot when i left for orlando...i intend to find a ndt trained ot to keep bringing back my left arm/hand/fingers...and i need to be pushed again in pt doing more exercises to keep improving my walking...i was glad to hear that therapy is provided in the kiev clinic...wow i'm pooped after a long day...over and out for now...
