I am brand new to posts and forums like this so bear with me. He just received 100% IU for PTSD as of this Wednesday and he was just at 70% until then. I need to ask more questions I know but I am walking on eggshells constantly and lately it has just got to me more...I am exhausted:-/ It is rediculous, but now he shouldn't have a problem and says he is ready to go through the inpatient program for the sake of our family. Thank goodness because something has to give and something has to happen. I even tried to call the Admissions Coordinator with the PTSD Residential Unit today again and couldn't get hold of anyone but maybe they are still celebrating their Thanksgiving? I have been very frustrated with his doctors. It does scare me about suicide, I have a very real fear of guns because I have seen him about to use them on himself. So even to this day, any clicking noises, anything that sounds like that, even since we live in a rural area and I hear the hunters around us, it sets me off and makes me nervous. I know this way with the 100% IU he is not supposed to have guns. I know many Veterans don't like this, including him because he wants protection, but he can't control himself if he goes into that mode, he doesn't even remember those times he did what he did and he wasn't under the influence of alcohol. So, I believe with him it is a positive thing.
jbasser- so he could possibly still be at 70% and they just gave him IU? I just know the man said 100% and IU to him...but again there is no telling until I call and then I know we will get something in the mail. I also tried to call them today but no answer. I have no idea if it is permanent and total because they spoke to him. I will just have to call on Monday and see what is going on.
