OMG - I MUST be dreaming!

I got home last night.  there was a message from The Cleveland Clinic looking to schedule me for a "workshop". I called this morning, thinking they made a mistake.  Explained I sent in my medical work-up, and was waiting to hear if I was medically acceptable before going through the paces yet again. I was told, yes, you have been accecpted into the high risk patient group and have been placed on the fast track because of all the work I've already done! When I hung up, I closed my office door and cried for 10 minutes I was SOOOOO happy! Yes, it's an 8 hour drive, but for a new life, I'll suffer - even with today's gas prices! So, my stubborness and determination has paid off! I have to schedule the workshop (which I can probably teach by now! LOL) and see the NUT and their shrink, then see the doc.

I am so glad that your determination has indeed paid off! I know you were beginning you become very discouraged at the whole process and I am glad it has finally panned out in such a positive manner,,,, you certainly have worked for it, Anyone who tries saying this is the "easy way out" really doesnt know the battle you have had for health, Congrats!!!
