People like that are a disgrace to the medical community, and sadly aren't nearly as rare as they should be.

Hope the chemo effects wear off quickly

My oncologist told me it could take up to 6 months to get to where I'm going to be post-chemo. She said most people aren't exactly like they were before, chemo does have lasting effects. I just hope the nerve damage isn't one of them for me.





to you, too. Got that margarita mixer ready?





Thank you, you're very appreciated.




Thank you, I like my taste, too.

The prayers are always appreciated. Please keep them up for Silent_Runner, too, she needs them more than she'll admit in here.

Government run health care is great, isn't it? I can't wait for Obamacare!

Just because you knew the risk doesn't mean they shouldn't take care of you when it happens. I don't know who you could report this guy to, but you really should. Our vets shouldn't have to put up with this crap. Loser.

Finally got the call from the company I interviewed with. They chose the other applicant for the job. I guess she had more experience or a higher degree. They said it wasn’t an easy decision (they told that to the temp agency that is helping them with staffing). They recommend me as a good candidate for another position, so that is good.

Another prayer need...my surgery has been scheduled. I am having a decompress and fuse on my back...the L5 position. This has been a year in waiting. I guess they are finally tired of trying every shot available over and over. The surgery is planned for November 14th

Please, continue to keep up the prayers for my finances...there are so many things I need and can’t get, and some things I’d like to do for and with my kids that I can’t because the finances are just not there. I know, there are people in worse shape than me...and I pray for them all, constantly...I just feel terribly when one of the kids ask if they can go somewhere or do something and I have to say no...there’s no money. Please, pray I can get a job...soon.

[Magnus2131]

Prayers going out to all of you.

Lady Glock: My heart does go out to you and prayers will follow.

I don't have any need for a loan, but I'm sure you can find some in here who could use a little help getting through some rough times right now. I'm really lucky that I don't have financial problems to go with all my health problems, but thank you for the offer.

I'll be praying for you to find another, and for your surgery.

Whoever I reported him to would probably concur with his recommendations, and remind me how much money I cost you taxpayers. Like I wanted to get shot and run up medical bills........

No, they're not, and the VA seems to have more than their share. I know I posted a while back about another doc who had a similar opinion of doing anything for me. Then there was the doc who rated me way below what I should be rated, and admitted it. I really hate the VA......

Thanks, I hope it does, too. It's getting a little better now that I'm over a week since my last dose. Hopefully the fuzzy head clears soon, so I can at least drive myself to the grocery store.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall when some of you GT'ers show up for a little 'wall to wall counseling' with that doc! Infortunately, after you finish with him, you'd have to go on to most everyone else that works at that VA!

Do I need to lock up my meds again?

No need to lock up your meds, just send them to me for safekeeping

Hay Magnus, how's your back feeling?

And the knives. And the watches.

He can forget about her purses as I have dibs.

Please tell us exactly how safe they will be.

Stop worrying about how much you cost taxpayers for your medical care. You earned it and continued to give back by staying over there. If we have to let everyone who works at that VA we will if it will get you some proper care.

I'll keep them next to my heart. And then inside my heart as they enter my bloodstream. And then farther down the chain until they're all filtered out.

The question is, would the Dr. decline medical treatment? That Dr. should be booted from the VA because (s)he is the burden on taxpayers, not the volunteer who darn near didn't make it home.

Probably not. He'd demand the best of care, and right now. I guess he thinks all disabled people are just burdens on taxpayers. He's an idiot, I was working until early this year, and the the largest by far disability check that I get is from private insurance. What the VA gives me isn't much at all, and I don't care that much. I just want medical care for one injury, and the after-effects of some of the treatment I've had. I don't expect them to take care of my bad knee, my cancer, or anything that's not a result of getting shot in Afghanistan. OK, don't mind me, I'm ranting.

I haven't posted in here altely, because I've been having muscle spasms and breathing attacks that would have had me in the base hospital overseas. I just went heavy on the muscle relaxers, and waiting for it to let off some. Still hurts, but not like the last couple of days.

[Clutch Cargo]

The Red and Black world thanks you and wishes your recovery to be quick.

It burns me that they are not willing to give you the care that you need.

I continue to pray that your pain and nightmares will be relieved.

You just ruled out a lot of people that work at the VA, apparently.

You can pprobably imagine how I feel about it. The words I'm thinking aren't fit for the pages of GT.

Chest pain, check. Nightmares, check. Feeling like total crap from the chemo, at least that's starting to ease.

You are not the only one who is angry at the way Wolfe is being treated by the VA. Those doctors should want to do anything they could for her.

I think we all agree in that. A recovery from everything.

They are not fit for GT but you sure found them fit for my ears.

I am glad the adverse side effects of chemo are lessening as they should be. Hopefully they will be completely gone soon and your hair will be back.

I'm glad you are there for Wolfe when she needs a friend to talk to. I look forward to a time when I get to meet her and develop a face to face friendship, though I know it will never be as close as you have with her. I'm still praying for your unspoken prayer needs. God knows your needs, he will meet them...unfortunately, it's on HIS time...not ours. I'll pray that things get done quickly for you, though I don't know your needs, it has to be frustrating dealing with them over such a long period of time.

I've been put in for another position with the company I want to work with. I had to put in a start date no earlier than November 16th as my surgery is on the 14th and I will be in the hospital overnight...the doc says to expect to be out for at least 6 weeks, but I can't do that...I need to work and I would prefer starting before Christmas so I can do something for the kids for the holiday. God is good...I'm sure he will provide.
