I hope you hear soon that your meds are on the way, Sarge.

They were sent to the post office in Memphis on Tuesday, so maybe I will have them first of next week. I'm totally out of meds now. I'm ok, but it isn't a lot of fun

My son brought my meds to me. Evidently they arrived on Saturday, but too late for us to pick up. I'm happy. Of course after all this time it is just like starting on them for the first time and it will take time for them to build up in my system.

Why the fuck were they mailing rather than Fedexing them during or immediately preceding a shutdown? It's not like it was cheaper. FFS. Sorry you suffered, hope you get back up to speed fairly painlessly.

Face it Busterb, the VA system is pretty crappy. I wish I could afford to get my health care some place else

The VA up here is good. They seem to take their time about surgery, and major procedures. But other than that I have no complaints.

The bad news is the VA still sucks.
The good news is about a sailor's dying wish. Read it, you'll like it... I promise.

Had junk mail from VA last week. Partly was about 10 years of My Healthvet.com.
Well I gave it a try again. I found out who I was and where I lived. Only been to va 2 times in last year, yeah right. Rest of the shit was being updated. SOS

www.myhealthevet.va.gov Finally worked. The girl that I talked to told me that I signed up for this back in 2006 it never did work and I forgot about it. Now they tell me that I have to use it to order meds. I found a password that the thing liked and now it works. YEAH!!!
