Re: 's CT followup and our decision- Deborah B/Frances/sorca

June 22, 2005

I have a call in to a friend who started with one band at CT and

another therapist (wendy, I think) and now she is on a 2nd band

(older child) and is using . I want to see what her

experiences were. If I am going to go through with this, I want to

do it right. My hubby actually was not impressed with the 1st

time we went, but since that 1st visit, he thinks differently. She

did not push the band with me at all. Actually, I think she was

thinking that we could continue Repo, but I am wanting this fixed

NOW, so that is why we went ahead and set the appointment for

casting.
