Things as usual are heating up with the military and finally I have made some headway in getting hubby's retirement pay corrected, the VA has finally made a decision and I can now start getting his medical care taken of again. I also learned that in a very short few months, he must be put back through all of the horrid testing he went through before getting out of the military. I am not looking forward to giving him that news. They have no idea how upsetting it is to continually be tested over and over for the same thing...of which nothing has changed since 2003! He worries me some days because of his depression levels but, we will fight our way through this as well. Eventually, maybe, one day they will just stop this ridiculous stuff and fully retire him so I can finally stop getting some normalcy into his life again.

Our anniversary was a bust with sitters pulling a no show...but we had a nice evening at home as a family and are making plans to spend at least one evening by ourselves soon. Meanwhile everything is status quo...still trying to sort through the gunk to find our new life after the military. The more the days pass and the more soldiers I come across who have been royally abandoned by the military, the angrier I become over it. Their medical treatment botched, the discharges and retirements botched and getting little assistance after they leave active duty. It is just so wrong in so many ways. Not all of them have wives who are still there and supportive and some never had wives. It is very sad indeed.

Well onward and upward...tomorrow is another day!
