Sinew of the Soul

Even I was surprised. Maybe ‘even’ isn’t necessary, but it’s a popular turn of phrase. Like ‘wassuppp????!!!’ I wrote an angry email to my case manager, my squad leader, and the wounded warrior ombudsman.

Content examples:

Why would I have surgery in Louisville and convalesce in Detroit when moving me after said surgery can cause lead migration?

Why would Ireland providers tell me 2 weeks is all the convalescent leave I’m permitted by ‘Regulation,’ they were giving me 3 as a ‘favor to me,’ when the specialist performing the procedure recommended a minimum of 6-8, and when ‘Regulation’ imposes no such limit?

Why can’t three separate Warrior Transition Unit providers accomplish a drug refill?

Why have we - the case manager, a physical therapist, a physiatrist, and three WTU providers (two of whom told me they had written referrals) spoken of and all agreed to obtain and try a device that may positively impact foot drop gait (since September of last year) and I still don’t have the device?

I got some response. Not sure they’re what I need or want. Time will tell. Though if past experience is any indicator….
