Got back from the VA yesterday........ got another doctor looking at me, so for the next 6 weeks I got to drive to Omaha to see two different doctors on two different days. Lets see now thats 240 miles a week, one will tell me my alignment needs adjusting and the other will tell me how to keep the weave in the ole basket. Do they still do shock therapy?

Terry, I can guess you 'Looked at all the ways to handle your VA trips?- 1) Get both Doctors on same day? 2) Get visits back to back { Two days together} @ stay in Omaha,over night? Believe, unpaid expenses can be in your taxes-[Check out]? 3) go w/the Program & all of that driving ?? And as I stated elsewhere. Don't know if they still use "Shock Treatments" or not ? Good luck,Guy!-Our best-Semper Fi- RichW/49

Had a enlighten day at the good ole VA. Joined in group therapy, or as some may call it circle jerk. Lot more burnt out bulbs out their then i thought. Guess they think if we paddle together the boat won't sink. Time will tell.

Joe,Larry, Thank you for the advice. Thinking of stealing the g-kids Easter baskets just to show them I have been learning how to weave. Made another appearance at the VA. They seem to think I need to attend another group. ( woooooooopeee) Need to think abit on this new angle. They are working on getting all three on the same day.
