An important consideration, indeed.  And if, or as, you improve with
time, that could be a marker for when to start considering things
again...

From his standpoint, I can certainly understand...  :)   God closes
doors, but opens windows...  ;)

And, as you've said, it's good to stay put until the decision is fully
delivered (and appealed, etc, if necessary)....

I know how that goes..  :)   I've used that principle on other loans,
too...  :)

Looks interesting.   :)   We've got a few Jamaican places around here,
I've tried one with my friend Cathy that is pretty good...  :)
