Jim has now had 12 HBOT treatment of 1.5 hours each. He feels better riding the car, substantially better. He gives his "car riding" score as improving from 3 out of 10 to 7 of 10 in just these few days! This is good news for Karen as maybe she will stop getting the "worst driver" award.
His balance is improving, and this is actually somewhat quantitative. His PT gave him an exercise of balancing on a 2x4 (feet perpendicular to the board) with eyes closed. He has been doing this for a couple of months. Until he started the HBOT, he would get his balance, close his eyes, and then immediately fall off. Today, he was able to go for about 15 seconds before falling off. On a second attempt he lasted 45 seconds before falling off. So this is a huge boost to his feelings!
