DAN Insurance ,dont have it, Get It
Il make this short cause it still hurts to think,Thank God I have Dan Insurance.
Some of you know I had a little dive incident, came up after one dive from around 75 feet ,got on the boat and 3 minites later my world turned into a spinning world wind. Its bin ER rooms , Nurses , and ENT's with many different types of tests for the last 5 days .Still kinda a mystery but we know I have some sort of a inner ear baratroma in my right ear.Iam on 3 types of meds and only now time will tell.The Dan Doctors are the best as for the rest of the Doc,s, well there just regular doc's ,no offence but again thanks to the Dan guys we are on the right track to recovery, Il get more info soon but any of you divers and spearos out there that dont have DAN INSURANCE ,its a must and a no brainer ,please get it , your health and wallet will thank you. PS I will be in the SBO, even if I have to remove my right ear with my dive knife. Last edited by Scubadood; 04-28-2009 at 01:46 PM. |

Re: DAN Insurance ,dont have it, Get It
I can't much more to what has already been said.
I hope you make a full recovery and yes you have to have DAN insurance if you dive. You'll wish you did if you have an accident without it. It's the best $100 you'll invest annually.

Re: DAN Insurance ,dont have it, Get It
H, when I talked to you yesterday you definitely had that "what the hell is goin' on" sound in your voice. Glad to hear it IS your inner ear.
As far as DAN goes, they sure have heard of just about everything that relates to us divers. They sure helped me with my bend a few years back. Denial isn't just a river in Egypt!

Re: DAN Insurance ,dont have it, Get It
Make sure you're all healed before you go under pressure again. The last thing you want to do is re-injure that ear.
I'm glad that DAN was a big help. They are a top notch organization!

Re: DAN Insurance ,dont have it, Get It
I'm sorry to hear about your incident. I sounds like you are doing better.
I hope you recover quickly. Without knowing the details of your incident it sounds similar to an incident I had a few months ago. I am constantly plagued with allergy/sinus problems so I am no stranger to having a little trouble clearing on occasion. On this day I did not have any problems clearing but on my second 90-100 ft dive for the day I had a relatively normal ascent and all was well until I hit the deck. (literally) I got on the boat and the world began to spin and I was instantly sick and feeding the fish. It was rather rough out but I do not typically get seasick and definitely nothing like this. We were on my boat and my buddies quickly headed for shore. My condition improved after a while but I was unable to assist in the boat loading and went home to crash on the couch for several hours. I had a terrible headache for a couple hours then a foggy head for a couple days. I felt much better later that day and never went to the ER or doctor. It has not happened again but I was a little nervous diving after that. I have been to the ENT since then with my "usual" sinus problems and they saw nothing unusual. You will be hard pressed to find someone that ascends as slow as me after that day. Get well soon. Oh yeah, I just signed up with DAN as well.
