Hello All, I have always left my Home PC logged in to the forums, so it appears that I am almost always logged in. However I have not been around the last few days due to a medical issue. Went to the ER Tuesday am, home late last night, working on some additional procedures that need to be done and may be readmitted to hospital. I appreciate any good thoughts or concerns you may have, but cannot respond to any messages easily at this time. I don't believe this is life threatening issue, but serious enough that I have to figure it out. I really miss reading all your posts, but the hospital wifi will not allow connecting to Gun related sites. I'll try to post any updates if I can but need to spend my time right now trying to figure out what to do via the VA, Medicare etc.

I’m hoping that it turns out to be nothing. Sometimes waiting on test results can be scary. Remember the lord is always there for you.
Prayers.
Prayers and best wishes.
Prayers for a favorable outcome, wisdom from the doctors and the CORRECT medical care in a timely manner.
Prayers for you, Ruger. Hope they get you squared away quickly and painlessly.
You might ask the hospital to allow you on the forums. I had that happen a number of years ago and after the fact I was told they would have tweaked their system to allow the forums.
First of all thank you all for the kind comments, thoughts. prayers etc.. I'm now in a somewhat holding pattern until I hear more on the next steps or if my situation changes for the worst. I won't go in to too much details, however I will say I'm getting probably what is expected from the VA which is much better than most things under our governments control.
My Local VA clinic is my primary care and has been for about 2 years now. I only get seen 2 times a year unless they get approval to see a specialist which takes too long in most cases, they did finally get approval to have me seen by a "community care" provider specialist for two separate issues which I did over the last couple of weeks they both required additional tests and diagnostic procedures which the results of one was received Late Monday causing the nephrology guy to call me and told me to get to the ER. I went to a closer Non VA hospital First thing Tuesday morning and was admitted. They did a lot of additional tests. x-rays, cat scans blood work etc. and a very unpleasant procedure involving a tube being placed where no man wants one that has a bag attached… anyways my new buddy and me now have to wait until the next steps are decided on and will proceed from there. So I am at home since late last night and hopefully will have a plan by Tuesday. If any thing changes before then, I am supposed to get to the VA ER in Dallas (90 minutes or more away) if I can else any nearest hospital if needed.
I spent most of this afternoon reading all I missed here in the forums and am caught up and back on the job! 😁
Again thank you all for your kind thoughts.

One Step at a time, One day at a time Brett… Prayers continue..
