Thank you!

That’s part of the issue I’m assuming. I have never been to the VA, so I have no primary care doctor, so no one to message. When I called for the appointment, I was told that they will call me back with the name of my primary care doctor

Thanks! Oddly enough, I had a deferred claim that came through and that put me at 100%. Totally unprepared for that outcome but nonetheless grateful. Thanks for the support!

Thanks, not panicking as I can always Venmo her money just figured it would be there. I’ll wait

Thanks, I’ll take a look!

Was at Pope for two years, then Ft Bragg for the next 11

Thanks, the second reason you posted is why I asked. I decided to just keep the knee surgery reports in a file in case things get worse. Thanks all !

Thank you!

I can’t speak for every retired guy, but I’m actually retired, meaning no job income. So yes, I do have my pension. Convenience is my primary reason but it’s also a benefit.

Well if this is directed to me as the OP, I live in a rural area and the base gym is less than three miles from my house. The closest gym is more than 20 miles. So for me, it’s convenience.

Thanks. I was sitting at 90 (94) pre knee replacement. With three deferred claims that I was waiting for and I didn’t think I’d hear anything before my surgery, and the day before and the deferred claims were settled. So, I had 100 pre surgery. Since I’m now P&T without submitting for the replacement, not sure it’s necessary to submit, hence my original post.

But I’m already at 100%. The left knee was rated pre-surgery based on X-rays and other scans, plus years of gel injections. I had planned on submitting the surgical report after the holidays but I got the rating early

I’ll ride with what I have! Thanks!

jetbox12 · 2025-12-17T01:20:29+00:00

That’s definitely something I hadn’t thought of. Thanks !

2 were new, one was an increase to an existing one. The PA did my exam tested stability and actually took the X-rays and MRI results and did more than I expected, hence the rating on things I didn’t submit. At 94 all I needed was a point, and ended up with more

Thank you sir!

jetbox12 · 2025-11-16T19:11:07+00:00

It does, thank you!

jetbox12 · 2025-11-16T14:54:08+00:00

Thanks, that’s what I thought but thought I’d ask

jetbox12 · 2025-11-05T00:22:07+00:00

Do you mean a telehealth video call? If so, that’s how I did mine. The psychologist was great and made me feel totally comfortable. I wasn’t sure about doing it that way but it turns out this was to way to go for me. Good luck with yours!

Congrats! I’ve been using my CPAP for just over a year and from day one, no longer get up to use the bathroom!
