I hope I dont sound like a total fruit cake, but here goes....
Does anyone know if its possible for an "average joe" to buy ligs/ powerchains ? Im asking because lately when I go to the ortho, they are very limited on colors, and the last couple of times Ive had adjustments, ive had to have grey( blech!) put on because they had no colors!! i do not intend to change them myself, mind you, but I wanted to maybe have my own 'stash' of colors that I like,that I could take with me to my appointments.
Is that a totally weird request??

I'm sure I've read others doing the same thing. Not so crazy - as long as you don't try to change them yourself. Now that WOULD be crazy!

I was wondering the same thing recently, but did not think to post about it since my actual b-day is not until next Tuesday. I checked out the color selection when I was with my son at the ortho recently, and they did not have any choices of pink (my favorite color) except for this electric fushia color. For my first set of ligs, I don't want to go so bright. I'll probably go with light blue or lavendar, but I'll be asking him if it is okay to bring him my own if he can't get me a light pink.

Never thought the color of ligs would be something I'd be worrying about -- haha!!!!!!!
