[Guest guest]

Hi Tachia,

Try clicking on this link. If you are asked to sign in, enter your

Yahoo ID and password you created when you joined this group...

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/duodenalswitch/files/ then look for

the folder called " Insurance Appeals " . If you still cant get there,

send me an email and I'd be happy to email them directly to you as MS

Word 97 attachements (you might have to wait a couple of weeks until

I'm post-op and home on my PC).

So yes, my big day is fast approaching! I have been busy training a

temp to fill in for me at work but now I am ready and anxious for

Monday to get here! Thank you for all your good thoughts and prayers.
