I was accepted right away.I realize I was lucky.It could have been because I was in rehab at the time,who knows? Somewhere in the archives there are instructions on how to apply and get approved the first time. I believe it was written by Doc. I have no idea how to find anything in the archives;every time I tried all I got was frustrated! Cheryl

I asked him why they put up with me missing so much work,he said as long as it takes for me to get what i need because i deserved it? said i was a good guy?
