Independent Medical Opinion

Today we go for an Independent Medical Opinion to contest the VA's proposal of Incompetency. This will be the first non-VA appointment in over two years.

UPDATE:

Been a rough week or so.

• Pain meds have been changed and increased, but still aren't controlling pain at a good level. 
• New meds (for other issues, not pain meds) are causing some difficulty breathing when Jeff lies down. Waiting to hear back from the doctor on that. 
• Numbness and weakness in his legs is continuing. Jeff is basically in a wheelchair anytime we go outside of the house. 
• Despite new meds, cognitive problems are continuing. Not sure what the VA docs will decide to do about this. 
• All-in-all, Jeff is still in pretty good spirits. 
• VA has received paperwork regarding our positions on their claim decisions. Now we wait (AGAIN!) to see what they're gonna say about it. 
• Financially we're still struggling. I keep thinking I see a light at the end of the tunnel, but it just turns out to be another train (IE: more bills, another setback, another issue, etc) Thinking of adding a "Donate" button to the page. LOL

Please continue to pray for us. Your prayers sustain us.
