Hi, @mlg2733 - it sounds like you are looking for additional stroke recovery tools. Good for you for doing online research to investigate.

I'd like you to meet some members who have talked about hyperbaric oxygen treatment for various conditions, including @harveym @thompsonm @lioness @rafaelquinones @artscaping @baz123.

@mlg2733 - it would be great to hear more details. Did you or someone you know have a stroke? What potential benefits of hyperbaric oxygen treatment would you hope to see?

Hi, Lisa. Thank you for responding. My nephew at 56 was vacationing in Bora Bora las December. My understanding is that he was wakeboarding and fell. He was wearing a helmet. He went to dinner with family members; came home & had a drink or two. He went to bed, woke up to go to the bathroom and fell. His wife (a doctor) told him he was having a stroke. She contacted other family members and ultimately he was transferred from his hut by helicopter to Tahiti. It was a hemorrhagic stroke. He had a craniectomy & remained in Tahiti for 3 weeks & was then transferred to Massachusetts General Hospital and two different Spaulding Hospitals until mid-May when he was discharged to his home.

Hi, Lia. How do I contact @harveym @thompsonm @lioness @rafaelquinones @artscartscaping @baz123.? My nephew currently has a trainer who comes to his home & has virtual speech therapy. He's able to walk with a single cane and is working on his gait. He can eat, talk, and communicate pretty well. He would like to do as much as possible to continue his improvement; i.e., can't use his left arm, hand & has left neglect. I saw a segment on CBS Sunday morning about hyperbaric oxygen treatment. I did some research & he thinks it's worth trying if he can get approval from his physiatrist. I told him about "the puzzle man" saying ping pong helped him although he played it regularly before his stroke. Flint rehab has specific tools. Does anyone know if they're worthwhile?
