I understand what you have said, but frankly I just do not have any faith in that system and your current experience only validates that feeling. Now that I am on a roll, I know a number of folks with limited service and no combat related conditions that seem to get all kinds of care form the VA, so I am appalled that a full career military cannot even get his foot in the door:(Chuck and Anneke's RV travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01929384797592263167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388266709789139581.post-49077865359492417632012-10-30T21:02:06.127-04:002012-10-30T21:02:06.127-04:00Sure sorry you keep getting the runaround with the...Sure sorry you keep getting the runaround with the VA.

My father has had no trouble. He just moved from Florida to Colorado and still had no trouble. I just can't get why SC is treating you so badly. Come down to Bay Pines in Florida, it's not far.<br /><br />To Joe, I think there are few people who will refuse to have the government's health care called Medicare, IF it isn't scraped by that time. We've found it has saved David's life literally and kept us from total bankruptcy. They've done a great job for us. I only wish I could have had this sort of government health care for my entire life.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6388266709789139581.post-28858528857414826802012-10-30T19:56:57.725-04:002012-10-30T19:56:57.725-04:00That's a heck of a lot of miles for one year! ...That's a heck of a lot of miles for one year!

Our Alfa does not look happy sitting uphill waiting for us to take her out for a trip. The big disadvantage is that it is so hard to get out of here we are not tempted to take short trips.
