Called the nearest VA hospital and they are sending information for Gene to fill out in regards to eligibility. Once that hurtle is crossed, then the next step would be to see one of their doctors. We live in Eugene, OR. The nearest VA hospital is in Roseburg, about 60 miles away. However, was told today there is a doctor, at a clinic in our immediate area, who works for the VA. How convenient! Will let you all know what happens. Thanks again for your input...Bruce, Dick, Delda, the Prices', and Camilla. Will also let you know, Joe, about the Korea thing. :) Clara Nistler [log in to unmask] _____________________________________________________________________________ Woman suffrage is rediculous, contrary to natural law and the practice of civilized states. - Winston Churchill (Stamp out bombastic syntax)
