RE:Dad-Lbd

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Hope all are doing well (as you can with lewyville)! Just wanted to

pose a question. Don't know if it's ever been brought up before but I

was wondering how many people out there with LO's with LBD were in the

Military (any branch). The reason I'm asking is because the VA will not

help with any kind of in home care (for just caregiving) because this

is not considered " SERVICE CONNECTED " ...?

Hugs and prayers,

Debbie

my dad was a helicopter pilot (NO VIETNAM thank goodness) for 23 years in

the us navy. he also was brutalized by the virginia beach police for drunk

in public he was sitting in his van listening to muskc in a parking lot of a

ramada inn. they clamined my dad threatened them and had to be subdued and

if anyone is familiar iwth military protocal of the late 50/'s to mid 70's

you never questioned authority and did what you were told so i know th e

police were lying. they used a stun gun on him 49 yes forty nine documented

by medical doctor, times. nad had 2 back surgeries. somehwere among all

this his lbd slowly began. hope this helps hugs
