Bureaucracies falter and give in under the weight of paper work and public and professional opinion. Make it harder for them to deny you than approve you. If you can not drive, you can't work either. You are sick. If you find another job, its not your fault if you faint, cry, double over, fall on the floor, vomit on someone, spend hours in the bathroom, tell everyone in sight how you feel, cry in pain, etc. All my love, and prayers, your good friend, Sally
