Well, disappointing week.
I have to agree with Silver_Fangz…… bad stuff happens on Wednesdays. We couldn’t do our beginning dives due to the fact that hubby, Squirt and I all needed a medical release. Squirt cause of her frequent colds, hubby because he’s over 45 and has a family history of heart disease. So we spent the day in the classroom.
We decided since we couldn’t dive, at least we could snorkel (as we had our gear with us). So we went to a local beach and went snorkeling. While there someone stole my backpack out of the jeep and Silver_Fangz dive book. Grrrrr……. There was nothing in the backpack but some of the girl’s clothes so they could change after snorkeling. But it was my favorite backpack.
Thursday comes around and things start to improve. Had a series of events that lead to an improvement in our financial situation for the month. Some man called and had found the backpack in the dumpster …intact with everything including Silver_Fangz dive book. Actually, he contacted the dive shop and they called us, all the man had was Silver_Fangz first name on the back of the dive shop card. What good luck!!
Then the bad luck struck…… Hubby and Squirt got released, but………..my stupid brain cloud is going to keep me from diving. The regular doc, called the brain doc, who recommended that he talk to the a Hyper Barric Unit on Honolulu for a recommendation. Guess what they recommended. Damn!! I was so looking forward to it!
Man I hate this! And leave it to me to come down with something that only a couple of people per 1,000 get. I couldn’t get something that everyone has and is easy to treat… NO, NOT me!! I have to be DIFFERENT!
Heavy sigh.
It really bites!
We are going to try some things, like asking for a limited release that limits my dive times and depths. Also some more research. Seems like if I can fly and go up to the top of the volcano without problems, I should be able to dive 40-60 feet. I really hope so.
AARGH!!

Damn brain cloud! Amazing that you could have something ‘clouding’ your brain and still be smarter than most people I know. What does that say about the cloudless people??
Well I hope that they make an exception so you can go and dive. Even if its at a limited depth. I still think you are insane for wanting to do that. The gear itself is something that gives me nightmares. You go girl!!
Glad that you guys got your bag and book back! Thieves suck.
