Thats excellent news, Heidi!!!

Ive done quite a few HBO dives. Its not difficult at all, just very time consuming. I would watch TV or take naps. Dont be surprised if she would need to get tube put in her ears to help with the pressure changes. That also is no big deal and can even be done in the ENTs office if its a routine procedure without any complications. I had those as well and its easy. After everything your mother has already gone thru these things would be very easy for her to go thru.

Best wishes!
