I normally don't talk about my physical problems openly. My accident only made my problems worst. As dealing with for a settlement on the accident. My preexisting conditions where well used against me. 80% is what I believed at the time. The record says differently. On a scale of 1 to 10 of pain I live at a constant 5 and spike on a regular basses. So I guess I my lack a bit of sympathy for it become comparative to my own pain and I still have been able to survive despite the odds With a bit of will you learn to overcome. I tried to encourage you and you took it the wrong way. I tried to save you steps but you had a problem with constructive criticism. Then you started attacking me direct and that is where things went the wrong way. I took 2 separate classes in cognitive thinking at the VA. Learning I am sometimes not as clear as I would like to be. You called me many names and they where extremely offensive to me. So now I have to forgive you for those, and I regret continuously fighting with you when it got to far. So for that you also owe me an apologize as well.
So I apologize for anything I may have said out of line.
My teachings tell me at this point to let it go and carry on and don't dwell. So I am headed out to work and it is your turn. You don't have to like me for I have no reason to like you either, but we can learn to be civilized and save the rest of the readers these foul writings that have happened in the past. Now once the problem is fully buried, we can continue the quest possibly being helpful out of respect for the quest.

edit to just tell you my problems so there are no more questions about my health. MRI on my back, 1 compressed disk and 7 herniated disk Medical records noted hit by a car in a cross walk. Both knees are shot and have not been able to run since I was in the military. Sleep apnea since the military but we didn't know about that for it was not checked on but not sleeping is in my medical records. but if you don't sleep? you eat to try to keep up your energy thus my weight is recorded in my medical records as well. Abuse or over worked of a minimum of 110 hours each week due to I was the only cook on ship when it required 2 and a mess cook which I didn't have either. The XPO was an alcoholic and didn't trust non drinkers not to mention I was a Mormon at the time which he didn't like. Just imagine being ordered to give a man CPR that was bloated and in rigamortis. That is the crap I had to deal with and constantly watched for anything they "the XPO and his drunk buds" could get on me. So I suffer from PTSD as well (severe anxiety disorder) and was untreated for 27 years but claimed in 1985 finally treated in 2012. Oh yeas I also have an unrepairable bone spur in my left foot that all may tendons on my are attached to and I found where I have visits to the Dr for that in my military medical records except it was considered a tendon problem that I still need to file for. Always the left foot.
Now you know my problems, I recommend you get your military medical records and comb through them to find other possibilities for yourself. That is how you have to fight the VA. By the recorded record. Your VA rep should be able to get them for you thanks to the new system.

Allen,
I walked 10 to 12 miles a day with 2 fractures in my tail bone. The pain was a constant 10. After about 1 1/2 years, the nerve in my tail bone severed.
The 2 pieces of my tail bone migrated through the wall of my colon over about a 4 year period. The pain was usually 8 or higher. The Richmond, Kentucky police dept. would check on me as I did damage ligaments in one finger because of the pain on one occasion.
You need to quit crying and take some aspirin. And to think you weigh 340 lbs. Knee problems are common for obese people. You are nothing but a typical lazy American.
You fault me for being an actual disabled Veteran who has been routinely discriminated against, ie., no family. Yet you say I owe it to you to feed you and your family ? Typical American. Too lazy to work at something.
Am very glad my mother was smart enough to marry a Norwegian. Working hard is not the exception.
Jim
edited to add; for those giving me red dots, I guess without cronyism you'd have nothing. Any more, this forum shows why websites like facebook are needed. :-D
