This is a long story that I haven’t yet told. I hesitate because I haven’t had it very easy over the past couple of years, and although it’s not pretty, I don’t like to write about my problems unless I have found a bright side. So now, I’m ready to talk because I have finally found a breakthrough that has helped my physical and mental health.
When I had my first liposuction surgery over a year and a half ago, I decided to spend some extra money on a couple of sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. I was in California for my surgery, and there were commercial hyperbaric chambers in the area. I did only two treatments because they were expensive. But after those two treatments, my extensive bruising had almost disappeared, and my pain was so much better. It was close to miraculous.
Fast forward to this past year post-surgery. I’ve been physically debilitated from a series of physical traumas…
