thank for the reply I went last week to the HR dept. and they got me TDD phone just a little nervous with the doctors they have no patience. Everyone else is on board the doctor were complaining because I was repeating everything they were saying before I got this phone. But now with the phone I don't know if they want to work with me got my finger cross. I'll let you guys know what happen.

thank
