The VA nurses and staff started to get nervous this morning when I asked for a piece of paper to better store my thoughts when I explained that I was getting tired and DIZZY with their 'silly wild goose' baloney today. Let's see..... I went to the first available window at the Oscar G. Johnson VAMC hospital in the Iron Mountain, MI 49801 area, actually Kingsford, MI., and asked for a few extra bottles of oxygen when I drive my Ram truck around, go to the store. Lately, for the past few years, I've been getting so winded, and starved for AIR TO BREATHE !! After going to [being sent on a Merry-go-round trip] to multiple floors, and then that person wasn't even there, etc., etc..... well, EVERY MOTHER'S SON--VETERAN KNOWS exactly what I mean, I finally got exasperated [just like they want to get!], I rode my handy power scooter to the ER and told them my story of getting jerked around. Finally, after THREE long hours of chasing around, they said that they had to check my blood oxygen level, which was in the good zone, like 95-98. So after the whole morning was shot in the 'anatomy' [and if I didn't have my power scooter] I SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD, I got NOTHING for my bother!! And I still have to wait for the 'Doctor's appointment, sometime in the future' ... now as I am still gasping for AIR ! ! ! WELCOME TO TRI -CARE, and the VA system, friends!! And every smart, intelligent person I talk to believes that Obama-care will be ten times worse !! Oh well, not to worry, Obama's got your back, right ?? Ha! Sorry to burst your bubbles, folks, but our dogs get better treatment. Obama's dog got a personal jet !
Well, I understand, that no body wants to listen to a cry baby, do I will end this tirade soon. I just want you all to consider that a bonfide Disabled Combat Veteran-- 2 tours in Vietnam, age 63, also worked at Chrysler for 30.5 years, ou8ght to have SOMETHING to show for all those years of work and toil. The reason why I have lots of close friends is because I am not a quitter, and the squeaky joint gets the oil ! And playing the 'devil's advocate' -- I've had a ton of earlier heart tests and prognosis last year, stating that I do have congestive heart failure. But the VA doc's Think that my heart condition is weight related.... hummmmm! The bottom line is: I CAN BARELY BREATHE even with walking in the house, from the living room-- to the bathroom. From my truck --- to the inside of the church !! So go figure.
U.P. North in Upper Michigan, at our humble country church, we've seen a
goodly number of deaths in the short 2 years that I have been blessed to be a member of. People work hard U.P. here, grow old, and die. Period. I think that it's a good place to raise a family, with clean air, water, huge forests and wild life! The "Inner City" pollution, crime, greed, filth and corruption will not get here, and we won't allow it here. Most of our people are Conservative, Christian, with many retired Military/ Veterans type, and we like it that way. People hunt and fish, deer, turkey and fish, and love it! And don't worry folks, I promised not the use the "R" word today.... for when God 'removes' His Saints and Believers from a crumbling Earth, when, in Revelation, the seals are removed, etc...Ha!
Well, we got a 'hot spell' in the 90's for the rest of the week, but we have central A/C and will endure... PTL.
I hope that all my friends, readers, and fellow combat Veterans are doing OK, and please send a friendly email to say "Hey" and tell me what you think!
Have a great day!
Warm Regards,
Tommy Schuckman
