		<description><![CDATA[Steve had his seventh hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) treatment today after taking Monday and Tuesday off to allow his ears to recover, and he had NO ear pain. In fact, he didn&#8217;t even wear the ear plugs, because I forgot to bring them along. But he did well without them, so hopefully the barotrauma is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stroke pain is a constant, but unwelcome companion for my husband, a stroke survivor since February 2008.
