Hi everyone I have something cool to share with you.

[MattTheAquaman]

Just wanted to tell you all that I pasted 3 minutes and hit 5 minutes and it was a blast. I wish that I would have stayed UW. It is hard to communicate with just eyes. When I close my eyes that means to surface. Now I need a signal to let them know I want to stay UW longer. It would be nice to get the communicator for my Neptune and be able to talk to my support team. They need communicators and mask also.

I can’t wait for the next time in the pool. I well be face first next time and have more help too. I well be UW longer too. It sure was a blast wearing my dive gear because it has been to long. I didn’t have and third person to take pic. Just my dad above water. Man my dream sure is coming together fast. Now all I want to see is fish.

Take care every one and safe diving Matt.

That is great Matt.

After reading your post, I wondered how you type. I know someone with ALS who "steers" his computer with his eyes. He has a screen full of letters, and if he stops on one long enough, it types that letter. Is that similar to what you do?

[MattTheAquaman]

Hi FW,

Nice to hear from you. Yeah those computer programs are cool, controlling the screen with eye movements. Me, I just dictate to one of my wonderful nurses, and they do the typing. I have heard of computer programs where there is a headpiece and a person can control everything by just thinking. I need that!!! I'd hate to know what the price tag is on one of them....

Take care dude,
Matt

Hi Matt,

I was released from the hospital last night, & just wanted to say thank you for your support. It is exciting to see you realizing your dream. Which proves to all of us: If we feel it in our heart, & it inspires us to pursue it, then it will happen. I'll talk with you soon Matt. I'm really happy for you.
Take care.
Your friend, always.....
