Later that week they put the finished product on my face to "set me up and make adjustments if necessary" and they forgot to tell me that they were going to clamp me down and leave the room. When I was alone and clamped down for the first time it was creepy and I could even feel my heart pounding. I got over that and got used to it real fast....I had to.
