Hello - I am getting banded on sep 11 at NYU by Dr Ren Fielding. I have all the information packs on what to expect but I am interested in real experience on some of the logistics. I am going home the same day later in the day. So the questions:
1) I am taking a cab to hospital they say not to bring cell phones etc; how do you get in touch with your people if they aren't there until later (mine live far away so will come to bring me home - plus i doubt i will want company?).
2) is there a locker where you can keep your things?
3) do i really need anyone to bring me or be there? I am ok on the moral support end. Other than that is there a reason for someone to be there? They say to give your things to the person who is with you that sounds silly to me. Usually there is aplace for your things.
4) Any info appreciated on what the day went like at NYU and what will make it easier for me.
