Thanks to eight surgeries in the past six years, I already have a nice little pill selection to get out of bed, to walk around every day, and get into bed and sleep at night. All thanks to my Uncle Sam.
Old injuries and wounds? If so, sorry to hear of that...but growing old, I guess, beats the alternative...
And if the VA is helping, then that could be a positive aspect.
Some guys still either slip through the cracks, or else the process seem to run then off onto a siding (siding, like-- railroad siding) leaving them partially, or mostly ignored.
