sram-ams(alcohol monitoring bracelet

Anyone wearing or ever worn one of these gadgets? I was just fitted with one yesterday after having my 2nd Dui over a year ago. Am already forming skin abrasions and am concerned about ulceration sores,infection etc. I had been sober 2 years when I relapsed last march and I got popped again, it had been 2years since the first. I have been sober since and managed to drag the court thing on for 10 mnths until this past Jan. when I was sentenced this is part of a very harsh sentence I was given. No one has told me yet how long I have to wear it before I can petition to have it removed. The pain and the financial strain $400.00, a month is unreal. Anyone have any insight or advice about this? Thanks.

Thank goodness tomorrow will be here and you will get that thing off.  There is no way they cannot take it off and medically treat your ankle. I can hardly wait to hear how it all comes down.  Hope you are there early when they open. Post as soon as you can.  I will be anxious to hear.  God Bless. Praying for a blessing for you.  Tonya

whew finally home glad the wk days over and I have 2 days to recoup. My PO came by wk today,I had spoken w/him in the a.m. to let him know my sched 4 the wk and to tell him about my ankle. I asked tp talk to him for a min. and my girlfriend took over 4 me. Pulled my oant leg up and he cringed he was definitly shocked, i don't think he expected it to be so bad. Told him I was taking iuprofen every 21/2 hrs just to take the edge off, He said He was suprised I was even walking,told him it was'nt easy. He told me to go to the other Prob. office place that put it on and show it to them. When I got it put on the guy said that some people just can't wear them...I believe I'm one of them. Also showed PO my other leg so he could see the difference and told him I have chicken legs and don't have enough meat on them bones...he laughed! He is a decent person just doing his job. So thats my plan 4 tomorrow hopefully the things coming off...I'm praying. I also want to tell them I need to have a doc look at it so they should not leave it on or put another one on. THEY need to come to some agreement here and not at my expense either! Moneywise or physically! Why would you continue to wear or put on a pair of shoes that you know gives you blisters? I wouldn't I'd get rid of them! Same difference here. So anyhow gals I'll keep U's informed. Terry

Well, i toasted you with that lemonade tea shaken at starbucks.   I am afraid it is not my cup of tea ha  But, i gave it to hubby and he liked it a bunch.   I will just have to stay with the shaken green tea.  I like tea and lemonade, just not together i guess. Tonya
