It's a bit unsettling at first knowing that your head is clamped to the table by way of the mask until you get used to it. At first, I felt uncomfortable after being clamped down then everyone would leave the room but me. I asked one of the techs, "what if I need to get up real quick like and no one is in here"? They assured me that no less than 2 were watching me on the cameras and for me to raise a hand if I needed to get up and they would be right in.
I also threw away my mask several times after bringing it home but then would go get it out of trash before pickup day as if it were an old friend. Just haven't been able to part with it yet.
