I have no real excuse for not coming and posting. I just have been on more facebook sites than Yuku. I can play my games, chat and vent all in one place. I did work real hard trying to get the Caregivers support bill passed and became deflated when it lost by 4 votes. Just kicked the wind out of me. PTSD in the house is just as bad as it ever was. Husbands weight has ballooned, he won't leave the house or the recliner. His VA NP retired and they gave him a new one. She is in Baltimore so its no real face to face time just a video screen. Don't like her at all. I have called her out on her last notes. She has even been dropping back his meds but not making notes of it. Haven't heard back yet on that. Fighting with the VA to get local care instead of having to drive 180 miles one way. The bill was passed for rural veterans. I have been working a bit, not a lot. Never went to the pool and only went out on the boat once. PTSD is sucking me in also. On a good note, I did take a trip and left dh and the dogs for 12 days. I went to Michigan and stayed with Dar a few days and went to WV with my girlfriend to her cabin. I hadn't been there since her husbands memorial. Husband and dogs were alive when I got home. Living in squalor but they were alive. I promise I will make a better effort on staying involved. Patty sent a few of us a message on facebook and gave us a good scolding about not coming to the site. If anyone is interested in the Facebook pages I can post them here. They are private pages but your real name is used. Sorry for the long absence and I need to read and catch up on everyone. Vicki
