We received 2 different letters from the VA today-one stated they were still working on figuring Rodney's compensation-OK we can deal with that I guess, I thought probably need to have Rodney call just to find out if they needed anything further. so I open the 2nd letter...It states they (VA) contacted the state of Kansas medical detachment, Adj. General department for copies of Rodney's medical records on 5/15/2008 and have yet to receive them. Today is July 17,2008-another 2 months wasted rolled in red tape. The VA is in Wichita and the Adj. Generals dept. in Topeka.Granted they are a couple hours apart but I would be willing to drive and get the blasted info. where it needed to be...I am obviously in that frustration place. I just picture in my mind his medical records being moved from one desk to the other on a daily basis and no one doing their job-which in itself is a feat since the whole file large enough to notice! I am fed up with dropped balls and people not doing their job (not blaming the VA at this point!)-we are 4 months out from him being released from medhold and still not VA rating which was supposed to be expedited. I guess I will have to start making some phone calls to stir the pot-that usually pisses off someone in the ARMY enough to get something happening! Really To Bad that has to happen!
Not a good day:(
P.S.
Rodney told me last night he had a piece of shrapnel fester up and pop out on his scalp-weird!He has that happen every once in a while but never his head.
Keep Imagining!

Quick kinda boring Update
Summer is moving along here in Kansas! The weather is warm and we have had our share of thunderstorms-thank goodness nothing too bad!
Both Carley and Taylor are working at the Aquatic Center and getting in lots of hours. Carley received her very first REAL paycheck last week-she was more than excited but learned in a hurry how quick the $ goes. She left for a mission trip last Saturday with her church youth group. They are in Philedelphia spreading the gospel and seeing what inner city life is all about. She had a difficult time the first night-too many people in the sleeping accomadations and no air conditioner-she was a little upset, tired and hot-all will work out and she will touch some lives as well as have her heart touched and her eyes opended.
Connor has been busy with baseball. He is not on a competition team this year so the pressure is not there-he is shining! He has gotten to pitch which he never was allowed to try on the other teams. They have won all but one game. He has a pool pass so spends many afternoons at the aquatic center hanging with friends. He starts swim lessons next week-probably for the last year since he is on the last level and part fish! He will be taking an RV trip with my mom and step-dad sometime in July. He is looking forward to that because he will get to sleep in the "uptop" sleeping area. Maybe a soccer and theater camp as well this summer.
No real vacation plans with Rodney just going back to work and gas being so outrageous.Taylor and her group went camping last weekend-I was shocked since I really didn't think she was the camping type-I never was! She is in and out so much I have to look to see if her car is home.Work, sleep, shopping and spending time with Bryan and her friends is her agenda. I remember the days!
Rodney is adjusting back to work. We are still waiting after more than 2 months to get his medical records from Camp Robinson in Arkansas. Very furstrating-I am very close to calling my friend in DC-that usually gets things moving. Rodney along with 2 other soldiers will be grand marshalls in an upcoming area parade. It is a great honor!
Me-not much other than keeping everyone else in line. I need to find my own things to do-just cant get motivated (exercise,friends,hobbies,job or school). Not sure what is holding me back. I have a dr. appt. for a sonogram next week on my ovaries-oh joy! I get to drink enough to fill my bladder just like when I was pregnant.
Well that wasn't really quick but covers what has been happening here-nothing to exciting but we had enough exciting over the last few years-boring is sometimes good!Keep Imagining!
