Just go grab this one. The garage door is open!

Hyperbaric treatment is used for wound care. My wife had to do a bunch of it after a surgery, but only because things weren't healing well on their own.

Given the choice, she would have preferred to skip it. It's very annoying because you can't wear any moisturizer, chap stick... anything with oil. O2 reacts with oils and it's a fire hazard.

My wife had to have her knee replaced a year ago, and she's only in her 30s. The recovery was slow, and she complains about the range of motion she lost, but it's a lot more stable than her old knee at least.

But her case was also one-of-a-kind complicated, because she has a rare genetic condition where her kneecaps basically never worked in the first place. In any case, she got through it.

Anyway, I hope everything goes well for your wife.

are they doing the thing with the automatic on/off ice water cooling. It use to be standard for a lot of surgeries but medicare dropped it and then insurnace followed suit but its not that expensive and people make jury rig ones real cheap.

My mom had both knees done and recovered fairly quickly and she's horrendously out of shape.

Good luck to her. I had a partial on Wednesday. I've worked with many PT patients. She can do it!! And two weeks after she will feel so much better!

Could it be for diving decompression?

It's a few houses down from one certain house where JFK & Marilyn Monroe played hide the salami together, where also years later Paul McCartney & John Lennon were last together in the same place (or something Beatles last time something). Paris Hilton also had a house here further up the road before the January 7th fires consumed it. These homes are usually empty because the people who own these houses have several homes all over the world, so these are just an occasional beach retreat for them, an eyesore and ocean-view-blocker for everyone else.

Anyway my point is, it's a popular well-known area, right by the ocean, which means everybody wants a piece of it, both major highway & billionaire beachfront homes. In fewer words:

Pacific Coast Highway.

They aren't everywhere, but there are "meal prep" companies that work out of local commercial kitchens and deliver full weeks of meals to your home.

Not as cheap as making it from a scratch, but cheaper than hello fresh and others, and much cheaper than uber eats.

If I had a chef they’d hate me.

“Chicken nuggets again sir?”

“Yes! And god help you if the dinosaurs aren’t recognizable again. What the hell are they teaching you up in France? Clearly not teaching about the Jurassic period! I will have your ass deported next time. Get it right!”

See, this is how trickle-down economics are supposed to work!

maybe we're wrongly assuming they use it inside their garage? maybe it's just being stored but idk

Yeah my idea exactly. What would you even do with a hyperbaric chamber

Edit: apparently it has health benefits

No but it could mean the difference between having one available for you to get rushed to by emergency services rather than the local hospital which may or may not be close by.

Probably more likely, I didn't know it was useful for stuff like plastic surgery.

I'm curious what the purpose of the screen on the outside and the telephone are for?

Earlier I saw a stand-up comedian lambast a pregnancy test company for marketing their products as "the most sophisticated technology you will ever urinate on" as a tagline that plays poorly with women but strongly with men. Men would love to piss on something high tech.

A fellow cartoon connoisseur I see!
