Well, I got my appointment for the T.E.N.S therapy on the 19th, I'm told I will be evaluated to see if the unit is right for my condition. Then a decision will be made to order a unit for my home use. I'll have to wait and see.

On the other hand, the VA is "looking up" in their support of my claims for disability ratings. My wife went to work at a major bank after 2 and 1/2 years off to care for me. If there are other caregivers who plan on returning to employment, we found that most of them will get your credit report. Our report was in shambles after two plus years, a lot of accounts were in both our names. I sold my business early on and she had to quit her job, but the bills didn't stop.

Finally my business bank decided to hire her and I'm now working with the help of my scooter. So, finally things are looking up, we are not out of the water but can breathe again thank God. This is my birth month, so at 65, medicare has kicked in, no more co-payments for office visits and meds.

We have had our struggles to keep the house, cars and food on the table with neither one of us working in 2 and 1/2 years. Through it all we kept the faith and each other and prayed every day. God does answer prayers.

Another bright spot is I was scheduled to go to Michigan this month on business, but that has been set for second week in August, but to California instead. I didn't know it, but they discovered my brother works for the same company out there. It's a fact finding and P.R. mission.
