21. It has taken determination. My wife was behind me all the way. We are never late, we never blow off appointments ...

... we do as we are told. That only contributes to a good resolution. If you don't show interest in your process VA starts putting your appointments further out. I am very satisfied with my treatment, and I always thank everyone who's helped me, when I was in Temple VA, I thanked even the room cleaners. They thank me for my service and I thank them for taking such good care of me. The intensive care ward was filled with the most caring and empathetic nurses. They made me feel like I was a family member.

The two that were assigned specifically to me were so young and yet so well trained, they showed so much kindness and care about me. I get emotional about it. VA is an example of how we all can get along together.
