Didn’t bother, either I was gonna die or not, no point n being told come on in to see us and then have them put me up in a non private room sharing a toilet with some other sick dude who probably has the rona.

I’d rather go out on my own terms and die on my own toilet.

My particular va is actually really good, 80-90% of the staff are awesome including my docs that I see/operated on me and even though I have to make scheduled appts 6 months to one year in advance bc their so packed, in an emergency they’ve always done right by me. I know a lot of va’s aren’t as good so I count my blessings.

I remember trying to apply for the VA several years ago. My income didnt qualify me. They promised me VA benefits, but no mention of any qualifiers. F them. I heard thing have changed recently, but Im happy with my current policy. Plus, I work in an office of Cardiologists, they give me free medical advice.

What service/mos were you in?

FL, glad you're up and about.

Taking a dirt nap isn't fun. Bet you thought you was close to it.

Eh, made peace with dying years ago, and been much closer many times, maybe not the best attitude but it just doesn’t matter either way, those wires in my brain got cut a long time ago. I’ve lived life got to do some kick *** **** and lucky enough to married an amazing woman I don’t deserve. When I go I go, no biggie, to think otherwise is just your ego fvcking with you making you think your more important than you really are. Live your life, kick ***, do the **** you want to do, be good and considerate to others and then Fvck it. Valhalla, hell, heaven, nothing, whatever comes next is what it is.

All that you went through, and it was non-COVID19 related?? Sh!t, your system probably built immunity to COVID19 and other viruses at this point.

Glad to hear you are doing better!
