Yes, if that's what you call every 3 to 6 months at the VA and if he feeling really hostile - he will force his way into his doctor's office which thank goodness he has not done lately. Over Thanksgiving, he told me that his flashbacks were getting too much for him. He told me of one and all I could say to him is that you were given orders and you were hostile terrority and that I loved him and because of his sacrifices - we still have our freedom and so do others. He wont let anyone not even his doctor into that part of his life his mind because of the military. I'm proud to be an Amercian however I'm disgusted with our govt for doing to him and other vets. It's like they're throw aways. Train them to be killers and then throw away when they're done.
The reason why I stay and why I'm here on this board is I love David for him - all his diagnoses doesnt define him. We recently talked and he said he feels numb from the PTSD now, and I noted the difference because he sometimes talks with no emotion. He has very hostile feelings right now and he doesnt want me to be around him. I understand why but it still hurts because he's hurting inside and I cant be there for him.
On the disability claim - He told me that his doctor was never notified from the disability board to send his records. He's appealing their decision.
Thank you for your message and taking the time - I usually give thanks with hugs and attached is one from me to you. Thank you again.
