Adventures in BCing

...So, I gave the closed breathing system a whirl today. It was the first time I've tried a closed system with a bladder/bag and double hose setup. It was amazing! Even with the valves fully opened, breathing is restricted and it got me off immediately! I'll look into priming the system with poppers in a few weeks when my eyes are healed. I don't think amyl/butyl nitrite exposure right now would be a particularly good thing....

Someone was monitoring, right? ([cough] I'll lay off the preachy, sorry.)

In all seriousness though, you don't want to hit any nitrites until you're fully healed. Capillary dilation right after any procedure (including voluntary laser burns... heh) would not be a fun time.

Yep - fully agreed. I'm not screwing around with this one. I'm following the recuperation steps by the book - it's my eyes fer chrissakes!
