IT is great to have all this advise. I called today and they moved Bobs app.up to the 19 of oct. I am greatful for that. We have never been through a illness where getting the right help has been so hard.I do believe we are on the right path though. Once you get in to VA and the first doctor see's you "I have heard if it is critical you move right along". I hope that is right. My next question is how to help Bob through this. I am a strong person so I hate to let people see me cry. Bob is the one person that I do lean on, now that it is his illness I need to be there for him. I don't want to scare him but I am the person on this internet I know what he is about to endure. I just don't know what information he can handel. Should I just leave it to the professionals.
