Last time I saw my neurologist, he had asked what expectations I had for the Baclofen pump. The pain managent specialist that I had seen had made it seem like the pump was the greatest thing since Penicillion!
At that time I told him a few things, but I was caught off-guard.
Today, I went in with a typed up list of what I was expecting to happen -- on that list -- dive to 10meters!
When he got to the diving one he chuckled and said "wow -- that's amazing! you really want to dive again? after what happened?"
Me -- "absolutely!"
Dr -- "Your PFO is closed -- if you are responsible and stay within 10 meters I see no reason why you shouldn't. As a matter of fact you may feel more human underwater than you do on land where you can freely move all of your limbs! I think it would be good for you physically as well as mentally!"
Heh -- "more human" -- that made me laugh!
As I got closer to my appointment I was getting concerned -- it was all for nothing!
Now to work out some gear issues and get in the water!

Boynton has the most beautiful intact corals and abundant tropicals I've seen in the shallows. Plus, go with Underwater Explorers, www.DiveBoyntonBeach.com. I'm sure you know Scubakevdm. He's the best and I can be there too
Congrats!

You should think about coming to ITK in July if that's not too soon. Lots of shallow pretty reefs with cool fishies and tons of SB buddies to boot.
How exciting you get to start new with your gear! Any ideas on what will be pink???

About a year ago I made some inquires regarding gear for divers with issues that you may have or run into. Give a little time to see if I can dig it up. Specifically things like fins, gloves to help with propulsion, and wet suits with full length zippers to ease donning and doffing of them. The last was really cool. You just stand or hell even lay down and the suit is put on you as opposed to you putting it on. Could be fun as well depending on where they put the zippers!
