Expect them to give you a yes, but they'll probably try to put you on some diet and exercise program first. Once that doesn't work you'll be in. Good luck with that.

I had to do exercises with my feet dangling free, and get an arch support insert for my shoes. Grandma shoes, my sons called them.<BR/>But I managed to get through it without surgery, and with good medical advice, and understanding co-workers when I had to sit down for a couple minutes.<BR/>Sounds like you need about a year's vacation to take care of yourself. Alas, the wolf at the door couldn't allow that...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
