Katie, not sure how Someone with Dementia makes a VA claim, maybe if you have POA that would help.. My Nephew has brain Cancer (3) they operated on one but the others they cannot.. he also had a Stroke about 3 or 4 years ago, and cannot remember a lot of things, He can drive tho.. He can hardly carry on a conversation, he speaks in 3 or 4 word sentences.. But he gets Disability from SSI, he is afraid to go for VA Disability because he thinks he might lose what help he gets, He lives in Ohio, and I in Pa. so I am not much help for him.. He lives alone, all of his Bills go to NC for his Father to pay for him, because he cannot handle the Bills.. Sad.. Anyways what I meant to say when I started this.. is does not matter how long a person has had the Military disability, they Start your compensation when You first file a claim, or first get treated for it.. So do it as soon as you can, if you have not already. My Nephew was in Desert Storm, Thinking many Vets got Brain tumors from the Oil fires they had over there.. My husband has PTSD but he never filed for it, as he had enough other problems, Agent Orange Cancer in two instances.. He now gets 100% My Son has hearing problems they attributed to the Service, he gets 20%. He also was a Paratrooper, has not complained of his back Yet.. Good Luck to you with the VA.. PS You can always appeal any VA decision that was made.
GORDON, I take Omeprazole 40 mg. I was told to take it every day, but also read where its not healthy to take it over a long period, so i only take it when I think I might eat something spicey, like Pepperoni Pizza or Pasta. But sometimes Juices stir things up too, guess its probably the acid..
Glad you are there for the both of you, staying at Slyvias.. You have been friends for a long time, from what I remember.. Goodness that means we have been hanging around here for eons too.. LOL We also had a John Deere, husband just had to have.. it became to hard for him to Ride the tractor/mower, so he sold it, now we pay someone else to mow.. Glad you too are staying safe by staying in one place.SUSAN, My son covers his fish, with netting so can get into his pond and he quits feeding them for the winter, they pretty much are dormant through the cold weather here.. and live off the bottom of the pond, if need be. Your flowers must be glorious when in bloom.. Good luck to us both in downsizing.. I am with you, I cannot stand Cold, but yet here I am.. LOL Loved living in Fl. Even tho Jan was cold, I know spring was on its way. My Son & DIL in Ga. both are just getting over the Covid.. Neither had their shots due to it not being sanctioned by the FDA and Their Daughter had Gullian Barre disease once when she got a shot, so feeling they are safer without the vaccine, Thankfully neither too sick.. but had been tested positive..
MAX, No Danny has not heard anything more yet.. But when he really will need it is in the Spring when We go visit my friend.. His big oxygen machine too big/heavy to take with us.. She does not want me driving down there alone.. and I hate driving in the mountains anyway, in the good weather let alone in the snow & ice weather.. So he can do the driving.. In the Spring. Saw when you got some cold weather down there.. My sons Mobile home caught on fire (Electrical) yesterday in Silver Springs, Ins.agent will be there tomorrow to access damage.. His wife was in bed sleeping, but he did not go when she did, why they are still alive today.. He called the FD Quick enough, that it just ruined one end. One their own land, so no one else was close to them. How is your SIL doing, is he back to his normal routine?
I see your Daughter is not listing now on Ebay, did she take a break due to SIL being in hospital? Sales have been doing pretty good this last month.. Just sold a New winter Coat I bought still tags on it.. for 50.00 It was 110.00; but bought it on sale. so all is good. How is your BP doing, keeping pretty stable? I hope..Well need to finish up with this short novel, and get ready to go shopping, I hate doing out in the cold.. Especially when a head cold started last night.. but groceries are getting sparse.. Danny drinks Kelloggs protein drink, and 4 times I checked Walmart for them last week, and they cannot get it in.. So he ordered 3 cases, 9 cartons of it from Amazon they Delivered them Sunday. So Amazon is getting them.
Take care everyone, Stay safe..
