So the wife has Navy this weekend and the family and I go to join her for lunch. Today, lunch was provided at a Pizza place, free for them and discounted for us, so off we go! Ofcourse I take my soup with me and we walk in. I ask politely if I can bring my soup in since I am on a special diet post op. The girl at the register tells me no way sir, no outside food or drink. I begin to tell her that I just had surgery and the food here doesnt meet my diet criteria. She still tells me no. So I go sit down and think for a minute...politley complying. Then it hits me, all the paperwork and material the doc gave me came with a card that he told me to carry with me at all times. Its a medical card that tell medical personell and anyone else my current condition. So I remembered that my wife hounded me to fill it out and stick it in my wallet. DING! I pull it out and sure enough it hits me. I have rights too! So I walk up and ask for the manager and explain to him with card in hand that I have a specialized medical diet and requested to eat with my family.....he politely comply's and apologizes for the register girl.

MAN THAT FELT GREAT! The card is temporary, but It has a link to go online and register my surgery ect, and get a permanent card! So what do ya think Im gonna do tonight!!!!

GET YOUR CARD GOING PEOPLE! they cant tell us no!
