Okay all, I think tomorrow I am going to go ahead and get the labret. I work on Friday but if I remove the ball, I should still be ok, right? if not I could call in sick, maybe one day would not kill me but I would rather not miss it. Tomorrow is my only chance in the next few weeks when I can get it done, I actually have a babysitter for my daughter. So thanks a lot to everyone for the advice, I think all is a go and I will post (probably on the other board) after I go.
