Congrats Pat! On one hand, it is good, but on the other it kind of sucks. It gives validity to your condition. Financially it is wonderful, but I am sure that mentally it kind of sucks because it does mean that there is a problem.
My hearing is June 1st. I know it will be a major relief if everything goes well. I do have a "mental" problem with it though. It makes me sad and scared for my physical being.
Don't mean to be a downer -

- congrats again!!!
