[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] I'll be Co-Chairman! Well...that's [i]it[/i]. My doctor is now officially just a source for painkillers. He's said he's all out of ideas and thinks that, while my wound is not any smaller, the fact that, despite it's starting to hurt worse, it not having gotten any [i]larger[/i] is "a good sign". He wants me to look around my area to find a hospital with a Hyperbaric (sp?) chamber. The treatment would be four hours in the chamber- it being filled with pressurized 100% oxygen (just like the Gemini asronauts!) that (supposedly) accelerates wound healing drasticly. But the treatments call for four to six times each week. Four hours each day. That would mean, treatments first thing in the morning, then working for eight-10 hours, sleep and them doing it all over the [i]next[/i] day.... If that's what it takes, I'll [i]do[/i] it, but I'm... I dont know...discouraged? Not hopeful? THe sheer lack of enthuasim on my doctor's part is discouraging. I'm [i]definitely[/i] tired of the whole "we've tried [i]everything[/i] line of doubletalk from my doctor, and the endless stream of residents that line up to see my leg when I go for an appointment. Plus, I just took my Chemo and have to work 16 hours tomorrow...so I'm kinda gripey just now. [/QB][/QUOTE]
