Let's hope we don't scare her, as Gary is worried about, because I would hate to have that happen. I just know that I handled everything they came at me with in a very dignified, calm manner............except that mask fitting. I was unprepared for it, had been told nothing in advance, and it was just "done" to me rather then explained in steps as it took place. If I had had this website to reference ahead of time, I wouldn't have had that bad experience.
