I have to go feed their three siblings that a friend of mine has. She can't make it home as planned because her BF, one of my best friends of all time, is in the decompression chamber after a diving accident yesterday...I have barely any details, I am very worried. He's in a city about two hours away. I'm under instructions to not even tell _my_ BF, which is stressing me out.

Oh, man, I am so sorry to hear that. Do keep us posted on his well-being. Sending healing thoughts his way. L.

Diving accidents are scarey. Even near misses are scarey, which is why I chickened out and don't dive anymore.

Thinking good thoughts for him.

Musical Intervention Needed.

I have listened to "Possession" by Sarah McLachlan way too many times this evening.

Tried "Pump It" by Black Eyed Peas as an antidote. Not so much. "Where's Your Head At" by Basement Jaxx. Well, we know where my head's at...

And let us not pour gasoline on the fire with "Lay my Love" by Brian Eno, "Need You Tonight" INXS, "Sweet Surrender" by SMcL, "Bad Things" Jace Everett, "Oh Yeah" Yello, "Honkytonk Badonkadonk" by Trace Atkins, or ANYTHING AT ALL by Melissa Etheridge. (k.d. is right out)

Not even Garbage can help me now!

Help!

Take 3 Billy Idols, maybe mix in some 4 Ramones.........

Been there, done that. 5 yrs ago this weekend I took a pretty good hit and ended up in the recompression chamber, with 4 chamber rides (or was it 5? can't remember) over the following week. I was very fortunate and now suffer no resididual effects, though it did take a few weeks for all the symptoms to go away. I continued to dive until 2 years ago when the boat I worked on was sold.

I will dive again, but will probably pass on cold water limited vis stuff, try to stick with warmer water. The diving up here just isn't that good to do it for recreation. It was "great" when I was younger, and they were paying ME to do it, but if I have to do the paying, not nearly good enough. LOL.

Anyway, your friend's BF will probably end up ok, but will probably feel lousy for a while, especially "mentally" as he re-lives the event. Everyone I know tends to get a little depressed when they get bent. I guess is the "how could it happen to me" reaction. If she (or he) wants to talk about it with someone that's been there, let me know. If I can help I will. I have been diving 30 yrs, and have done well over 1,000 dives.

UGH...sitting here unable to think....What on earth was i thinking not taking my medication??? That and borrowing a road bike that may have been a bit too big for me. We believe it put too much pressure on my neck as i was holding it in a strange position....

So, i'm sitting at home wandering on the net reading about hashimoto's & reminding myself to not forget to take the eutroxig...I thought i could control the symptoms just by excercise alone... nope....

ian wanted to slap me with a wet fish yesterday....i won't tell my mom....

Sorry to hear about it, CC, but it sounds like it's just time to get back up on the horse, as it were. Get your thyroid back under control, respect her needs, and you'll be back on the bike soon. Maturity is the ability to say, "I was wrong", and change course to make it right. (((CC))) L.

<<<<lise>>>>> thanks! I def won't forget to take me medication if it means being off my bike, no swimming or running...! Am feeling a bit better, no numbness but exhausted.

Nanci, how is your friend???

I've always wanted to try diving but never have. There's some great diving up in northern western australia at the ningaloo reef-whale sharks come & mate there..
