Question
hedgey
He's at work. I called & told him it came - he said open it, but he has a meeting so he'll call me back to hear what it says.
They gave him 100% for PTSD as a new rating. He's working, and has been all along. He's a civil engineer, and admittedly, they've been giving him less and less responsibility over the past couple years. He's got the most seniority and experience, so he's kind of the grey-beard who points out problems waiting to happen, and answers the questions of the young'ns when they get stuck.
He likes his job. He gets into it with people, but he's working hard on not getting into conflicts.
Ack, I'm babbling.
Will he have to stop working because of this rating? All his VA doctors, shrinks, therapists, all know that he's employed. He told the psychologist who did his rating exam that he is currently employed.
He'll be heartbroken if he has to quit or retire. His job is his identity. He'll be crushed if this means he's "too broken" to be DH the engineer.
:(
Let us be kind, one to another, for we are each of us together in our pain.
