Hello family, friends, fellow divers, coworkers, Well first I want to apologize for not reporting, Well I know that there are many of you who are sincerely interested in knowing how I am after the decompression accident I had and well I have not reported nothing, like I'm out of orbit. Thank God and all the other divers who were there and Captain Gabriel, I am alive, literally. If it weren't for them I wouldn't still be in this world. I am very grateful to them and I know that I was very fortunate that they were experienced divers who remained calm, orderly and organized at the time of the rescue. Thank you very much... now the expression is literal. I owe them my life. They knew how to administer oxygen quickly and effectively, they put me on the boat without hurting me, they took very good care of me during the transfer to the dock (Punta Tunich). and the ambulance arrived very quickly too. In the chamber, everyone also did their job very effectively and quickly, from the nurses to the specialist, asked specific questions and also answered my questions bluntly in an objective and clear manner, they scanned me and explained the information that the devices that were used showed. . Since last night at around 10:00pm I left the hyperbaric chamber after a table 6 session. Five hours in the hyperbaric chamber breathing pure oxygen brought me back to life. However, I still came out with one of the symptoms. I have lost my balance when walking by about 30%, I estimate, but I have no other symptoms. This morning I entered the chamber again (table 5) for 2 and a half hours, with that I regained my balance. I am not at 100% but I estimate that I control my balance by about 80% when walking and I have the hope of recovering completely. over time
