My Son is a veteran and blinded in Desert Storm. I spent a lot of time at Walter Reed Hospital in DC at the time of all his multiple surgeries. I was well then and could deal with anything. I stayed with a family and they had dedicated themselves to helping other wounded as the husband was a bilateral amputee legs. He had been in Viet Nam and he and his wife were determined these Veterans of Desert Storm would be treated well. I was with amputees and some with their sides blown off but alive as well as with my Son. I guess my point is that never ever did I dream I would years later have mental issues. But I do and it may be a different part of the body but just as real. Yes a lot had and still have PTSD mental as well. My Son is married second time got a degree testified in Congress worked on the Hill for the Vets now in new marriage in Florida. He and His Sisters are there he no longer needs me so no contact and that hurts. So don't sell yourself short. You are more than deserving of any help and empathy as they. I may be somewhat or a lot off topic but B2Chica you do so much so very much. You are very deserving of so much. Just had to write this. Phillipa
