thanks guys!
I really appreciate all the details and insight, echos! so i guess i'll just keep my fingers crossed. so my records are mostly good (minus i guess the mri that's over 3yrs old for the surgery im not intending to get should they even stretch back that far), so then i suppose it's just a matter of how long it takes for this weeks' visits to go on what you said would be 'public record'. (shoulda just held tight i guess for a couple weeks on that dr visit. didn't think about a phone intv)

and if they do i will try that ''oh yeah, forgot bout that med'' thing.
'don't know about when that gov stuff kicks in either jd- good q. (would i be crazy if i said i had a couple doubts about that one?) and i appreciate your earlier point btw, and I do understand that it certainly can be considered unethical not to be completely honest about one's condition, however i can't say with any complete sincerity that i feel too badly about my discretion to the whole truth (so to speak

), being that should the option arise again to be honest, though at the chance of denial, I can't truthfully say I wouldn't likewise repeat my responses in the former manner. (Though if we were going back and all... i sure would have held off a week on seeing that md!)

)
Thanks again, I really appreciate the input!
