lighter:
Is it the crazy ex wife?
Hopalong:
I'm really sorry, (((((Amber))))).
I hope you'll keep posting as you process this.
Big big hugs

Who can expect B to be up to a physical challenge when the VA hamstringed him through subpar/incompetent/non-existent care for very serious infections AND pain AND the stress that drives his BP up to unhealthy levels.... while they continue leaving him in pain and creating stress FOR HIM?
I can't imagine B would be ready for duty.... ANY duty..... he can't even have a week's visit with his SO.
OK... THIS is what's bugging me.
The VA is treating him like they're waiting for him to go ahead and die.
NOT like they're trying to get him up and running for duty as a highly sought after asset in the field.
((Amber)) I'm sorry this is so dissapointing. I'm dissapointed for you too.

That's exactly how they're treating him Lighter. My head's exploded so many times from frustation at the sheer willful stupidity of it all... that I'm kinda numb.
Only thing I can think to suggest is for his commander to put pressure on these depts. Usually when the military officers "request"... people hop to.
And the other thing that's crossed my mind (god forgive me) is that I still don't know the whole story.
----------------------
It appears from announcements last night that the virus is picking up speed and getting the usual "lets throw money at it" solution from FedGov. I hope the virus is bribe-able. /sarc
Just to muddy the waters a little more, on what know/don't know about this virus...
one of the girls B took prom shopping a couple weekends ago - is now down with the virus, in hospital, with ARDS. She is 18. That contradicts all the official messages about younger people and mild cases, since she was a healthy girl. In another week, he and his D, will have finished up the 14 day (minimum) waiting period for incubation.
I have to go over the mtn today for banking. It'll be the last time I'll do so for a month. Everyone is adjusting their understanding of "basic expectations of normal life" around here - including the kids. Usually Steve works large events - concerts, conventions, etc. Those have been cancelled for the most part. She has other friends in the cities that will be magnets for community spread. So far, she's limiting travel - but not completely. She can't; she has classes to take (state mandated as part of her sentence) over the mtn.
I am not adjusting much to my routines - and will continue going out - but am very carefully watching what's going on and paying attention. With an eye toward being able to hibernate, at the drop of a hat.
sKePTiKal:
Tell ya what - work seems to keep me away from seeing the 100th iteration of the same information online - and letting it get under my skin.
Painting and staining wood in bathroom, so that they can come in, Monday and finish up by the end of next week (Thursday for them). So far the contractors haven't stopped working 'coz of CV19. So far no (reported) cases in my state - I think we're the last of the 50. No idea how long that'll last. Our K-12 schools are closed as a precaution, but otherwise life is normal around here. Maybe fewer tourists - who usually start making expeditions this time of year.
This is about my "normal" for the start of spring/end of winter... so, nothing is all that different for me.
