Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 You're welcome! I was thinking about you today. I knew you weren't feeling well and hadn't seen you on the boards lately. The VA is the place to go for care these days I hear. The new brace sounds promising. All the best with hand surgery. This is something I have been contemplating as well. The fingers are especially under attack lately. Good luck with the brace/hand surgery and feel better soon. Ebony peace and healing, Ebony --------------------------------- Talk is cheap.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I hope your VA is better than ours, well, tuth is AYPLACE would be better than ours. My dh had to wait well over a year to have his MRI read, then he was waiting 18 months for angio, and then when he got there, he was all prepped and they were gonna give him PCN, but I stopped them cuz he has anaphylactic allergy to PCN, so they stopped but held him in pre op for 24 hours and then admitted him for 4 days, but withheld food tray in case they contuinued with angio- but then they did not continue. They have yet to reschedule it and now it has been 2 years since they stopped, supposedly to confirm his allergy. He had complications from a procedure in the fall, and wound up septic, but they argued with me and were refusing to see him, finally they saw hime but argued they were not gonna admit him, till they did blood work and he wound up in ICU for a week. During that time, I was 5 hours away having emergency eyeball surgery with my so, and they sent my catatonic confused dh home in a hospital gown to an empty house in another patients car without even notifyng me. I am constatntly appaled by how they treat people at our VA hosp. - In , Gardenia blossoms <stillbreathing29@...> wrote: > > You're welcome! > > I was thinking about you today.

The scary part is since he is 100% permanant total and service connected he rates at priority 1. I shudder to think how it might be here for those not 1st priority. yeah i hate to think how they treat the ppl who arent priority 1... geez.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 You can bet we complained. Every time. We belong to DAV and MCL and are close with the VA rep here in our county, and we have talked with our state rep and our state senators, (in person) several times. And the hosp ombudsmen. Funding. Thats their response- funding. Lack of. My dh is 100% service connected permanant, total, so he gets his all his care there, has for years. The scary part is since he is 100% permanant total and service connected he rates at priority 1.
