Re: Rhiannon's helmet

[Guest guest]

I already replied once, but my computer went nutzo on my, so I'm

quite sure it won't show up, if it does then ignore it .

It sounds like Rhia's appt went wonderfully! I'm so happy her

orthotist had an attitude adjustment for the better. It's too bad

she was so bad to you at your 1st appt., even if she was having a bad

day, that's no excuse to take it out on you & other patients. But at

least she's trying to correct her mistake now.

Now you can sit back & watch Rhia's head round as we " speak " . You

have every good reason to feel " relieved " - the hard part is over

now, let Rhia's band do it's work!

Keep us updated.

I am so glad to hear that Rhiannon is adjusting so well to her band,

that is terrific! And speaking of adjustments, thank goodnaes your

orthos attitude had an adjustment too. I really think it was

a good idea for you to call the manager and voice your complaints,

and it seems he took it al very seriously. Good luck to you and

Rhia, be sure to keep us updated on her progress and on what CT says!
