[QUOTE="Star*, post: 438576, member: 4964"] Our friend is a retired vet - and got his shots and all through the VA - they are not ---NOT the best place here at VA Dorn....trust me. I'm not sure how long he has to continue to take them, I will try to find out without asking it's kind of a touchy subject - so maybe I can get DF to roundabout. As far as antidepressants? Oh yes. He takes those, and pretty heavy duty pain pills and sleeping pills. But like I said - he's in his mid to late 50's. Has bad back surgery, now walks with a cane, and has something else going on too- but wont tell us what. I tought perhaps parkinsons or MS - by his odd gait and shaking, inability to be a mechanic any longer - but he is really closed mouthed about the entire situation. I used to work with him - and he was in a T-bone accident involving a truck - and is trying to say some of this is from that - I don't think so. I do know that he can NOT take the heat here - he basically goes from the house AC to the car - AC to our house - AC back to the car AC and to bed. His quality of life is just sad. IF it weren't for the Grands i don't think he'd care. That and his couple days a week with DF. My heart goes out to you - it really does - but do try to find the SOMETHING that your son cares about - it could help in the Fall. Talk to a counselor now - and see if you can get some things in place NOW --do not wait till last minute. [/QUOTE]
