Thanks for the help. GOBUS is picking me up in the morning. I've seen them in my area before, I just didn't know what they were about.
Well done! I'm so glad you were able to sort this out and get the care you need and so well deserve as a veteran. God bless you my Poaler friend.
This is excellent advice.
Hope he was able to use it
