We're not stangers, Johanna. You just can't see our faces. You and your mother are on my mind. Plus vet care is a sore spot for me. On the whole, this country hasn't kept its word to its vets or its armed forces. I can't tell you how sorry I am for your trauma. Even civilian hospitals don't know how to handle PD etc., but to experience what your mom went through is unconscienable!
