After
After my time in Service, I've gained 160 pounds. I have been in wheel chairs off and on since 2009. Both legs and toes needed reconstructions. I have had 8 Major surgeries in my life and have 2 more coming up. The Va has stonewalled me on my efforts to get the income I need, not just to survive but to live; enjoying the experiences I am missing because of these problems. The legs are the Major parts of most peoples lives. Percentage wise, The Va in a way show that they believe legs are minor at only 10 percent each compared to other problems a person can have. I want to ask, how can people put a price on my Dreams and Talents? How does this pain and life altering problem seem so irrelevant and meager compared to a shoulder injury or head injury? My career is gone, basketball is gone, wrestling is gone, and even my dancing skills are hurting. Dancing is actually the only things I haven't fully lost. I try to enjoy life with my kid and my girlfriend. I have tried to go dancing and even tried to at least enjoy events out and about. I still have the ability to dance very slowly but my legs pop out and hurt all the time. Its painful to do the things I love. What the wheel chair has taken away from me doesn't compare to what It's taken away from my child and children to come. Imagine all the things you do with your children, activities, sports, and fun swept away from you. My freedom Is gone.
