DeeAnn, glad to hear you are still alive and kickin! Hopefully you won't have to wait long to get an appeal approval on the original denial. I was denied the first time too so I know how disappointing that can be, but I was approved on the appeal. Keep us posted on the Iowa board and feel free to e-mail me anytime. I am finally out of my "hibernation" and back to posting again. Keeping my fingers crossed for you! Elizabeth
