When I'm finally rich and famous (handsome is a given), I want a hyperbaric office and sleeping chamber.
I logged 100 hours at roughly 2-3 bar (they should have given me a dive ticket too) with O2 in a chamber, a couple of hours at a time. My metabolism was much quicker and I felt enormously less fatigued. I had developed Osteomyelitis in my right foot while in a nursing home after cardio work. I lost part of my right foot but the hyperbaric slowed the infection to a crawl by the time the chop shop went at it. Thank God they let me keep the big toe and two others. I basically have what kind of looks like a Vulcan salute.
At any rate, it was while at the dentist today I had fond memories of the naps in the chamber.
Cozy and safe in there, as long as the tech is out there watching gauges and opening the hatch. Despite audio com, I still had a couple of occasions to bang on the tube.
There are sleeping bag like home solutions but I want at least an entire room that is spark proof.
Cheers GC

Ah, you found the magic of O2. It’s good medicine and kept me going many times. One day I was curious and while chatting with a couple of fly boys I asked “How do you guys do it? I mean I see you all in pubs late and than up and flying the next morning.” They said that when getting in the cockpit they took a few drags of O2. Later when playing medic I remembered and found on those occasions when I was dragging, I mean didn’t think I could go on for lack of sleep, or maybe just feeling under like I may have been coming down with the flu or just feeling badly in general and there was too much to be done to stop, when no one was around I’d take a few drags from an O2 bottle and that would perk me up. It made me feel like a new person. Sorry about your lost.

I'm sorry to hear that. At least you're now officially entitled to carry a small parrot on your shoulder.

The guy wanted to just chop a third off (trans metatarsal) the foot with all the toes. I would be a bit stumpy now but the two toes lost were trimmed back removing their metatarsals. A toe pruned off the left foot as well and that prompted a lymphoma negative. All this following a stroke in 2008 with followup speech and writing therapy. My mental modem and cache are at the 1980s level. Cataract implants both sides and now finally catching up on dental overhauls, some of it forty years old. Rat poison and some other daily meds. The numbers always look wonderful Dec 2019 total cholesterol at 102, ldl at 48. While at some of the hyperbaric sessions, the other tube was being used by a MMA that bought time as part of his training before fights. Perry chambers, roomy even for my ofishness large&tall. I lost a lot of weight in there. Cheers GC

You can grow some massive vegetables in those things too.
Way back when, insects were giant because of the increased amount of O2 in the air. I think the earth could support the massive sauropods and other dinosaurs because that environment grew plants like crazy.
