LACY: Re: ILL FITTING HELMET?? NEED ADVICE

[Guest guest]

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!
