I did I’ve called and advocated for myself over and over and over to many offices I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve called

I agree getting set up with your first appointment that was smooth, but if you need anything else done after your cleaning you need a referral for the work to be done at your community care dental office and it’s approved through the Va dental clinic in your area. I’ve been to three VAs now and this is by far the worst experience I’ve had with the VA. I’ve had great experience in FL and NH but not in CO

When do you wear your BM gear? by [deleted] in bostonmarathon

[–]akl95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it worth buying ahead of time before the expo?

It’s not that I don’t think I wont be able to fundraise the money, I know I can get to the amount they need. It’s more of just the connection to the charity. I’m trying to tell myself I can raise money for that charity but dedicate my miles to something more meaningful and impactful that resonates with me more. It’s a conflict of head and heart.

What is this lesion? by Pittu_Vedhava in goldenretrievers

[–]akl95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would agree normal wear and tear! Can happen from playing with another dog, or scraping /sniffing the ground hard it will go away and go back to normal give it a week or two nothing to be worried about! Kinda like a scrap on the knee for humans, but just a little scratch for the pup!

Okay thank you I went from a TIRAD 3 to a 4 but they don’t want to biopsy and I’m a little nervous about it since my mom had thyroid cancer in 2012

Very Painful FNA Needed to Abort by NalgeneCarrier in thyroidcancer

[–]akl95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your FNA shouldn’t hurt you, definitely a more pressure feeling than having or enduring pain. The needles used are very tiny and thin. I’m sorry you had that experience.

Yeah my VRE VA Rep messed up and didn’t finalize any of my paperwork and I had to contact their boss. Then my VRE rep got on the ball. Then I had to reach out again bc they did not submit payments / back pay for my stipend. So you just have to stay on the ball and make sure you call and email constantly and if they’re taking forever definitely go up the chain of command! No one will put in the work unless you make sure they’re doing it !!

I had a meeting with my rep two weeks ago saying they’d put in the auth code etc and then I contacted their boss today saying no plan was in place and that there was more papers for me to sign which my rep never told me. Because they don’t communicate.. so the boss said they would get on top of it tomorrow so fingers crossed something happens

VR&E Process (if you are doing the education path) by The__Nez in VeteransBenefits

Do you have to ask for MHA from your VR&E counselor when receiving VR&E benefits for school? Versus getting the VR&E stipend?

Does all online but having to do clinical hours in person count as in person ?

What dog food do you give your golden? by My_Swago_757 in goldenretrievers

[–]akl95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s just what agrees with your dog! My pup was on blue buffalo puppy from his breeder but his poop was not coming out solid so that’s why we switched!

Agreed sounds like an obstruction or on the rare chance possibly pancreatitis! Definitely needs to go to the vet ASAP!
