oh and by the way, I get so annoyed at my RO when I hear other people got to have the mouth opening cut out. I *begged* for that because the mask pushed my lips against my teeth in a way that I'm sure created worse mouth sores than needed to be there but my RO said they couldn't do it. It also made the whole thing much more claustrophobic....
