Update to medical issues

Originally posted 2014-06-19 19:51:22. I have a surgery scheduled…finally. He will go in and see what it is and go from there. Once I find out what it is and if he needs to remove anything, fix anything, etc…then my daughter will be there. My husband will be a phone call away. We can’t afford for him to take a day of work off. Our health insurance is through his employer and is based off…

June 8 2014

Originally posted 2014-06-08 17:29:26. It is Sunday morning here in the Carter home. Daughter volunteered at a disabled/special needs baseball game on Saturday and well the rest of us were at home. We took the opportunity to literally do nothing. But that also means since nothing was done yesterday it has to be done today.

Why is the VA claims processed so long, complicated and unfair?

My husband is one of many having to deal with the long drawn out process of filing claims through the VA. I am not understanding why it takes so long for them to process these claims efficiently and fair to the veteran. I realize they have had to try and save funds money but it shouldn’t be on the backs of the ones that put their lives on the line. I have seen a lot…
