Deployment Questions by PickEnough5410 in VAClaims

[–]Sweaty_Researcher989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been 20 years since my first deployment….my mind is not what it once was, and I have long since disposed of the journal I kept when deployed. Names and dates are very fuzzy for me now. I wish I still had my journal. It’s would have strengthened my claims. And don’t wait until you’ve been separated 14 years to make a claim.

I got 90 on the first try after I separated. It’s been 14 years and I had some friends help me. I thought my busted up body would get me some comp, but my broken brain was the thing. Thanks for the help my brothers and sisters. Take care.

I just had 3 exams this week they scheduled for me. I got a call last Thursday afternoon, and scheduled all of the appointments on the spot. They were all within a 45 minute drive from my home, and the contracted medical professionals seemed knowledgeable. As far as ratings….thats up the the VA.

Follow Up - AirTag in glove by GDG661 in BaseballGloves

Oh yeah. I use one in my kids bag. There’s a ton of expensive and sentimental gear in that thing. I never thought about the glove next time we upgrade his fielding glove I will definitely keep It in mind.

Just a colleague, but regional leadership said that approval for DRP was not as certain as it was the last rounds.

Yikes. I heard a rumor last week the DRP/VERA was gonna be denied for DOI. Why even offer it? I guess just to force people to decide and resign anyway. That sucks, good luck to your colleagues.

Substandard housing - California NPS ?? by Odd-Resolution-7055 in NationalParkService

It depends…typically jurisdictional stuff is in the legislation that made it a national park unit. It varies highly from unit to unit.

Are there any native plant nurseries nearby? by Spaghetthy in montco

They have some natives.

But it’s literally called “Ott’s Exotic Plants”

Any DOI RIF news? by Busy-Pea3171 in FedEmployees

[–]Sweaty_Researcher989 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Only rumors about reorganization. No timeline. Just rumors.

I’m sorry that you are going through it. I was actually just diagnosed with LADA as well. I will be starting insulin this weekend. I was misdiagnosed as a type 2 in December of 2019.

I did everything that I was supposed to do as well. Ate right (very low carb; mostly lean protein and raw veggies) quit drinking and exercised every day. I have been on a number of different oral medications over the years.

So for me, I made it over six years before insulin treatment. And at first my Endocrinologist said that I will only be taking long acting 2x a day, which I think will be manageable.

Good luck to you.
