Wow, you have gotten so lucky!!!! Im so happy that you get to be home with your family for Christmas. HBO is no big deal. Its time consuming but also relaxing too. I would watch tv and take naps.

Ask about getting tubes put in your ears first. Ive done alot of dives and know that its so much easier to do HBO if you have the tubes. My ENT did mine and they were still in 2 years later. When I did my last set of HBO treatments, I got a new set of tubes put in. It can be very painful and a struggle without the tubes. I think I probably did about 40 dives before I gave in and got the first set of tubes.

Best wishes for a speedy and painless recovery. Wishing you the best Christmas with your little ones smile
