And after his long-awaited job offer it took him 5 days to fall asleep. He literally slept all weekend. He feels a lot better now, exponentially better than when I initially joined this group. The big lesson here for the two of us is that when you are treating a vet, they have a lot of health problems that cause things people normally get treated for to go unseen. We had to treat L for diabetes and high blood pressure after he had all of his surgeries for his disability. It makes treating the mental stuff a lot harder when they are struggling with so many other symptoms. L didn't even realize how bad he was until his doctor friend came to stay a few days with him. L and I are grateful for the resources he has. Having worked for the VA, he realizes how lucky he is because others simply don't get the care that he can afford. Even being able to afford the care it is difficult to remain on target and positive. There are many setbacks. Things seem to be on the right track for us this month.
