Today we are having freezing rain. I was sitting on the deck just the other day enjoying the weather,and now,we have ice on our cars.
However,that will not squash the good news of the day.
Rick has finally been retired by the military. We got the call earlier today. After being wounded 8 years ago,four med boards,running to Dr's appts in Boston and Norwood MA,as well as Gilford NH,filling out hundreds of pages of repetitive paperwork,and three years of temporary retirement,it's finally over.
They gave him 100% disability. Like he said,he's not happy about being considered completely disabled,but he is glad it's finally over. Apparently they finally decided that his PTSD and TBI are not going to get better.
We are going to celebrate!!!
It pays to hang in,I guess.
Have a fabulous day on this Fabulous Planet!
Yay, time to move on...once the crap weather buggers off! :D

ReplyDeleteI am still so excited by this news. I work with veterans and I know how difficult, and often stupid and ridiculous and frustrating and painful, this process can be.
ReplyDeleteIt seems as though giving your time and a big chunk of your life and often your future health is dismissed as an inconvenience by those who should rightfully be doing everything possible to honor the heroes with whom we have entrusted our own lives and safety.
Even ordinary citizens like myself feel shame about how our government disenfranchises our veterans. Just shameful.
I am so glad to hear your wonderful news... What a relief for it to be over. Well done for hanging in there both of you!!

Oh what a wonderful call to receive!!! I am so happy for you both, as I know how hard you have worked for so very long and all the hoops and appointments and time that has been invested. This is the end of one long chapter and the beginning of another wonderful exciting chapter in your lives to look forward to. Hugs Amy :)
