    An update on my Uncle:

    He is out of the VA. He had only one leg removed for now. The shrapnel (sp) that was in his leg since the war is now gone, thus so is the pain he suffered.

    Unfortunately, he had to go into a nursing home for rehab. I heard he is in very good spirits probably to finally be pain free. I feel sorry for him having to live in a nursing home. He is only 60.

    This may be weird to say, but I'm glad I'm a woman. I'd rather have the pain of making life, then to be a man and be made by a government to go take life. Of course you give your life in war even if you don't die, because of the what you've experienced, most will never be the same again. I wonder when they come home from Iraq, if any of the wives will really know their husbands. The adjustment time in returning from war, must be bizarre.

    Well, I'm off topic as usual.

    Thank you all for your compassionate comments.
