As of yesterday, I've lost 22 pounds since November 5, making me eligible to be taken off hold status at Univ. of MI.  I've begun the process of getting listed with Univ. of WI.  Most of the paperwork has been sent to them and my chart has been sent to the scheduler, so hopefully I will have an in-person appointment soon for an evaluation.  So far the only additional test I need is a dental clearance.  I go tomorrow for my dental exam, and I'm hopeful that will go well.  So on to the next step, and of course the waiting.
