Kathy, you have been given so much good advice, I can hardly give more. Just know that we are all pulling for you. I am really not getting that litigation clause either. Sounds like they think you're trigger happy, and don't want to chance you might sue them after surgery on your back. It's just nonsense. I went into a serious depression after my 3rd appeal was denied. We do get how rough these waters are to tread. So please hang in there. And like others said, don't make any big decisions till things calm down. God bless!
