Guest guest Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Ingrid, Don't worry about his adjustment period if he gets a new band, Waydon adjusted very well and wore his 23 hours the first day with checking the skin every 3 hours for red marks and didn't even act different! I wouldn't want his current helmet making any more problems! Leave it off until you can get in to CT! I do wish there was a CT in my State!! That would have made things a lot easier!
