Hey Spine,
I'll be thinking about you today and praying that all goes well, and that the trial is more successful than you ever dreamed it could be! Sorry you have to go through all the crazy "bureaucrap"! I know it's horribly frustrating, but just keep plugging away--maybe you can wear them down by your sheer tenacity! LOL! Let us know how it goes, okay?
Hugs, Prayers, and a dozen pair of red tape scissors....
