I’m sitting in bed typing a new post.  I had put, as a half joke, a wireless keyboard and mouse on my Amazon with list and someone got it for me!  That means I can type and read blogs all day long!  Yay!  Thank you kind sir...you know who you are.

Ok peeps....I gots somea gooda news.  I listened to you all and marched in to the VA and demanded they take care of me…

Not really.  I called up and gave them my sob story and they told me to come in the E/R and they would get me registered and we would fill out the paperwork for my DD214 while I got my care.

HALLELUJAH!  HALLELUJAH! 

Mostly all we did today was get me registered and got some vitals and set up an appointment.  But I have an appointment....SOMEONE is going to look at AND care for my brokenness.  I feel like I’m part of the worthy again.

(As I’m typing this, I notice this keyboard cannot stay up with how fast I type.  Gonna have to train it.)

Today was a grueling day of sitting and waiting and waiting and sitting.  That may not seem like a big deal.....but try it with a splint and broken ankle that should be elevated.  I thought I was going to die before I got home.  It took 5 hours in total.  Reminds me of my Army days.  Heh.

Later on, I might tell you the story of the bastard who dared to attempt to steal my cab!  Bloodshed ensued.  Oh yes!

So, my brother went grocery shopping for me yesterday, I have my future health being looked after, I got my headphones, this nifty wireless dealio and nothing to do for three whole days except lay in bed and start to heal.

Oh-and I love the makers of Vicodin.  Long may they live!

Finally.....this would have been a complete and total nightmare without all of you.  I thank you so much for all of your advice, information, wisdom, shoulder to lean on, financial assistance, jokes, phone calls, etc.  You guys were genuinely trying to help and again, I’m so touched by that....I have never met such a wonderful bunch of people.

Now that things are under control, I am going to take this time and go through all of the comments and emails and reply to each of you individually.....if you left an address.

Right after I take a nap that is.

Thank you everyone.  I could not have done this without you.  Well, okay, I could have but it would have taken three times as long and been five times as painful.  Muchas Gracias.
