[QUOTE="Kelsmell82, post: 392745, member: 73477"] Hi, My workshops were split into 4 mornings. Workshop 1 was just getting the pump, and playing with it, learning the buttons etc... Workshop 2 was starting on the pump. I had daily conversations with my Pump team, which was ace. I would highly recommend taking time off, at least during the first week, just remember that if you do your ratios and rates will probably change when you become more active, being back at work etc... I really was mentally and physically drained for the first couple of weeks, plus the first couple of days I was freaking out, just because it was such a big change, letting a machine do all the work :) Hope you get a quick turnaround, fingers crossed :) [/QUOTE]
