Chrisy,

I was really scared to get mine in. You remember how it was, everything coming at ya so fast....awful. Anyway, I was in the waiting area on my gurney when in walks this young thing who announces he's my doc. The only thing I could think to ask him was how many of these placements he did in a year. He said, "oh, about 700." I laughed and said I was sold. Figured he knew what he was doing and he did. Mine worked well and given how caustic some infusions can be I think you are wise to go for it.

You know I am in your corner!
