I have recently noticed that I can get coverage while sitting!
I had hoped it would happen sooner than it has, but I’m not complaining. Admittedly, the coverage situations typically follow a time when the DTR or tape has just been removed, and I am sitting or laying on my side or cold or somewhere where it can retract more. Actually, in the normal position, it won’t cover like this. Now I usually have to manually stretch it over to get it to go into place, but occasionally I’ll look down and see that it covers itself.
However, I know that I was never able to do this before, so it’s obvious that something is happening here. Considering what I had when I started (many years ago), this is unbelievable. I still wish it was a faster process, but I’ll take what I can get and be thankful for any signs of progress.
