Wife Condition Improving!!!

  • HadIt.com Elder

Hello Everyone

I know this is not the forum to add this post  and not take away from any other post,

I just wanted to thank Everyone for the well wishes and compassion and prayers, they do work,

My wife condition is finally improving, after tons of Morphine and other knock out drug's to help control her excruciating Pain  for 10 days straight 24x7..due to a Ruptured Gallbladder  infection (GAN-GRENE and Gan-Grene II set in it also had leaked outside her gallbladder into her bloodstream  so they had to combat that with antibiotics also... and she had a hard time with it , they inserted two tubes  into the bladder one on each side  and are currently draining the infection out into bags ..its a slow process , she had the tubes in now for 8 days and could take up to another 8 days to drain ALL THE INFECTION OUT, She been in the Hospital Now 2 full weeks, the pain she had from her gallbladder caused her heart area to have pain,  so they did a heart catheter  and look around the heart , cardiologist said it looked like she had a ''light'' Heart Attack but no damage was done  she does have one ariterie  stopped up 99% but the other arteries are doing ok...

So now they are needing to get that infection drained from her gallbladder  to be able to remove her gallbladder..so were hopeful for a surgery date?  but its risky surgery due to her already triple bypass heart surgery from 2005, and recent neck and back surgerys.

but this is no choice the  damaged gallbladder needs to be removed...and were awaiting a surgery date for that  until then she will remain in the hospital  ..she has not eat in like 3 weeks now  they fed her Intravenously via IV's  and 3 different Antibiotics,   she had a rough time there for the last 2 weeks, due to other complications to many to mention here, but today she was sitting up  and was able to speak and lift her arms up a little bit  she can suck out of a straw  and she is getting broth and jello, for now, and her pain is now under control....where before she was in excruciating Pain and was awful to witness and watch her......nothing anyone could do the D's did all they could...

So Were hopeful she will pull through this sad time in our lives.

We thank everyone here for your prayers and compassion,

I will update in about a week  and hopefully she is recovering from gallbladder surgery.

Again Thanks Everyone here on Hadit...this is our second little family.

Hope there were some claims won these last two weeks  if so a Big Congratulation to these Men and Women Veterans  and a Big Thank you to all you Hadit members.

Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • Do the sct codes help or hurt my disability rating 
    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.
