Guest guest Posted May 7, 2000 Report Share Posted May 7, 2000 Hi Judy, Welcome to our circle of friends and family. You wrote a very beautiful letter and we can certainly empathize with you. I'm just surprised you were able to type with those splints on your elbows...Ha..Ha.. That's one I have never heard before. Some people just don't have a clue, do they. I'm glad your insurance company is headed in the right direction I just hope they make it all the way to Durham NC. Keep us posted. Bye, Genz ( Genzel from Ft.
