lizrbit 0 Posted February 22, 2007 update: hey! i was banded on the 13, went very smooth. i had used the same cab for my tests and got to know the cabbie a bit. I was able to use him, he waited for me in the waiting room as required, took me by the drug store drive through to get my perscripts and even helped me up the stairs and insde the cottage im staying at. I had done much to prepare ahead of time and i gotta tell you, it went really smooth. I paid highly for the privlidge. 480 dollars. I figure i would have probably spent that in groceries or something. still. if you are alone, and wind up having to go this route, you will be okay. It felt a bit lonely for a day or two and i had a full out pity party the third day out but no horrible things happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
