 Its been a long time coming but it finally has!  For those that did not know, When I was forced to stop working in july 2000 my disability insurance company jerked me around for quite awhile before they finally completly denied my claim to benifits(you can still work during open heart surgery....right?). To make a long story short, I was forced to get a lawyer and sue for my benefits  well a week ago my lawyer called to talk to me about it, it seems as though the company had made me an offer which was basically to pay me the benefits that I was owed, I guess there may have been a possibility to try and get them for my lawyers fees as well, but I really did not want to risk the chance of getting something, when I could lose it all. I was not horribly excited, as I was not going to count my chickens before they hatched, I had felt too many when it looked like i was getting something, and ended up with nothing. I recieved my check today I can officially start my life over once again my life has had a lot of ups and downs in the last 3 years here's hoping that it is nothing but up from here Thanks for being there for me ------------------

Congrats Ed,
But it sure is sad to see that you have to fight for the insurance that you already paid for! That is a bunch of cr%$.
I'm very happy for you and have a wonderful holiday.------------------
