We (Joe) received excellent care there except for one man who was the head of Neurology. He was teaching when he came to see Joe and the group of doctors-to-be, crowded the room with him. I crawled up on the recliner as far out of the way as possible :) This was the second day he had seen Joe. He had given Joe some medicine the afternoon before, not 24 hours into his body and he watched Joe walk, we got him back into bed, then he gave the group his thoughts first and then asked them what they thought. Of course... they all thought like him and were totally wrong. He - as a teacher should never have given his thoughts first... right or wrong. I have to say that there was a neurologist there whom we HIGHLY respected. He spent hours with Joe and recorded history and background and went far overtime with us. He wasn't on the team that was examining him. There was one other man - doctor - on the team and he spent time with Joe and let him know he was not in agreement either. He wasn't asked about his opinion :) Anyway... except for the worthless diagnosis... It was a very good visit. I and (we) met many many returned injured vets... no leg or legs, no arm or arms, brain injuries and the whole group was so very very Positive including the relatives who were with them... I cannot say enough about them... the attitudes they displayed will carry them far far forward where the missing original body part would not. Talk about lessons... they were learning life lessons and their lessons were flowing all over me. We all lose 'body parts'.... the worst of those being ... the invisible heart soul and mind... the vets were learning valuable lessons and we were Blessed with many of those.. The power of discouragement was being disintegrated, by-passed and stomped upon, kept only in the vocabulary as a signpost of displaying the word NO. When you come to the fork in the road... Let your yes be yes and your no be no... and then God will protect you while you walk the trail you have chosen.
