Hi Bertha
You have a very important job. And to boot you are a volunteer. Thank you so much for all that you have told me. His parachute accident happened at Ft Bragg. His 100% disability is a combination of knee, shoulder, ptsd . Probably due to the parachute crash. The heart issue has just now surfaced. Honestly it runs in his family as far as I can tell. Doubtful we can tie it at all to a service connected issue.
PTSD, no I do not think it can be cured. Medication might be beneficial. He takes so many psych meds. I do believe it has affected his judgement and general awareness, memory and so forth.
I am very sorry for your husbands stroke and passing away. You mentioned going to church. I hope he was obedient to the Lord and you can feel that peace in your heart. I look at your bio. You are a very intelligent and motivated lady. Bless you for helping us out. You possess a lot of compassion. And passion.
I would not call him housebound. Yet. I drive because he wrecked and totalled 2 vehicles in 11 months. I do not know if it is because of medications or his general mental decline. He can do his personal hygiene and eating by himself. He walks and gets around fine. He sleeps many hours and is not active when he is awake. Been like this for at least a decade. However, i do not feel that i am his caretaker at this point.
Have a wonderful evening Berta. And a great start to your week.
TY........Christiane
