Oh no, I am so sorry to hear that. That must be so hard. How have you been coping?
assistant
One step at a time basically, I hate he couldn't get a good doctor but that was "the best the VA could do"
user
Oh wow, that is so sad. Have you contacted an attorney?
assistant
No, they covered their butts really well with paperwork. It wasn't worth it sadly.
