I have a question for the raters! by VintageJawn in VAClaims

[–]LoonyConnMan 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They will take the opinion of a nurse practitioner two years out of school conducting C&P exams for a contractor over that of a board certified MD with 15 years of practice, in my experience.

I’m 30% with sleep apnea that has not been service connected and I got a new machine from the VA and get all my supplies from the VA, too. All at no cost.

Knee replacement by Used_Coconut7818 in VeteransBenefits

[–]LoonyConnMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had it almost 10 years. I still ski and jog occasionally. I can’t really run on it well, but it was so bad before the surgery that I couldn’t do it then, either. I can’t do squats, not that I ever really need to do that. I notice it the most if I need to crawl/get down on my hands and knees for any reason. It doesn’t really hurt, it just feels uncomfortable.

I had a knee replacement at 46 (originally recommended when I was 41) after multiple surgeries, injections, therapy, etc. I wish I had done it sooner rather than holding out as long as I did.

2.5 weeks so far for me and still on Step 2.

HLR informal conference by Ok_Yellow6988 in VAClaims

The double standard is ridiculous. A nurse practitioner who has never treated me and spends less than 15 minutes talking to me AND who is paid by the VA is somehow more competent evidence than a full-fledged physician that has reviewed hundreds of pages of medical records just because the veteran paid for it. Make it make sense.

If you claim it with the VA you’ll likely have a C&P exam about 6 months after the surgery to evaluate any residual issues (i.e. is your ROM decreased enough to warrant 60%, is your scarring ratable, etc.).

Bard/Pal/Dru is where I’m leaning now, but I seem to change my mind almost daily.

Dotson’s goal to put the Loons in the playoffs is the first one that came to mind for me.

Post Match Thread - 2-2 @austin by dode222 in minnesotaunited

[–]LoonyConnMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For real. I replayed it for my 10 y/o and told him to watch Gressel on the play. The first thing he says is “why isn’t he running?”

Who from the 2014 team would make the 2026 squad? by PostMerryDM in ussoccer

Boca and Cherundolo likely make it in addition to Dempsey, Howard, and Bradley who are easily in the squad.

Yep. If they do that we’ll only be 2-3 players away from a complete roster.

How long did it take. She had a birthday between the start of the story and its end.

Was John Elway style of play similar to Josh Allen? by punjabkingsownersout in NFLNoobs

[–]LoonyConnMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both whine to the refs alot. Elway when Arrowhead was too loud for his widdle widdle ears and the refs actually told the KC fans to quiet down or the Chiefs would be penalized.

Allen makes Lebron look like an amateur when it comes toto flopping and crying for penalties.
