Well that is certainly welcome news :-).  I'll be able to go see my therapist again.  Still no plans to cover any surgeries though.

Love is not obedience, conformity, or submission. It is a counterfeit love that is contingent upon authority, punishment, or reward. True love is respect and admiration, compassion and kindness, freely given by a healthy, unafraid human being....  - Dan Barker
