NY Times Jluy 7th, 2010 - Veterans Affairs to Ease Claim Process for Disability
This could be a major step and relatively inexpensive. Sounds well worth it.

What Color is PTSD?
I don't have PTSD but everything i have heard about it sounds grey. some people in the deepest pit of PTSD seem to understand something is wrong but with all the distortion, it's hard to see clearly.

I am aware of Diana, I was curious about whether dryhootch.org had been using her as a resource.

Thanks to Mark for bringing out this information about the problems that women have been having with getting assistance from the VA.
When I blogged a few weeks ago I was really feeling down on my luck. I was focusing on the uncertainties I faced being in summer school at UWM and not receiving the amount of financial aid I had expected. Then, suddenly, I got a new job, had a good…

I watched the movie and passed it along to others. It was extremely well done. I hope it will lead to needed reforms because if that was what happened to one platoon, it's likely other horrors took place involving other platoons.

Suddenly

A good semester
My semester at UWM has been a time of very positive growth which portends well for the future. I am awaiting word from the school of welfare welfare on my application for admission and a field work placement for the fall. I had positive experiences on an internship with IndependenceFirst and enjoyed fellowship with NAMI and dryhootch.org. I joined the steering committee of the Milwaukee Mental Health Task Force. I expect to graduate next spring with my Ba… Continue

David M Ryba said… - Thanks Kenyatta, Walt, David, and everyone at Dryhootch for your concerns and wonderful wishes in regards to my recent health event. On April 5, 2010 at 07:00 I had a transient ischemic attack (TIA). A (TIA) is an episode in which a person has stroke -like symptoms for less than 24 hours, usually less than 1-2 hours.
The good news is, unlike a stroke, an episode of TIA is brief and recovery is complete. In my case, a problem in the area of cholesterol seems to be the primary cause of the TIA event. My doctors have started me on a new regimen of medications, increasing the dosages and adding new ones. I hope the new formula of drugs I’m getting from the VA works better than what I was taking in the past. This one was pretty scary!
Thanks again to everyone at Dryhootch for your concern and support!

- Hi Kenyatta,
I'd like to attended the open house at the end of the month. It would be a great time to meet everyone and get some video footage for Veterans Newsline. I was wondering if it would be possible to help Laurie and I out with transportation to and from the event. We live just 30 miles to the south in Kenosha. If that's too far for you to come, I understand. I put the word out to my staff photographers earlier today, so maybe one of them will show up.

Kathy Anderson said… - Hi again,
Do you already know all about UWM or will you need some guidance? I came to UWM from MATC, Oak Creek campus. I am still here, but now in grad school. Let me know if you need any help at UWM. Have a nice evening. (I'm in the UWM library writing this)
