Update on Erags

[bruiser]

VA gave him 100% on Agent Orange for the lymphoma and 60% on Agent Orange for his heart disease; we received official notification recently. He's scheduled to see someone about the heart disease rating on Tuesday; followup at the VA in April about the lymphoma rating. We've been told it's an incurable cancer, so I don't know why he gets reevaluated in April and why he didn't get the "total and permanent" rating, but...It's nice to have the extra money from the change in rating, but I'd rather have a healthy partner. We enjoyed a nice ride today; weather was great for Spyder riding.

That's good. VA is really behind in their diagnosis/treatment. Took me 22 years to get a rating for hearing loss and then they gave me 10% for tinitus only. Go figure. I had to go back for my rating on my heart condition a year after the initial rating. The doctor said that sometimes atrial tachycardia corrects itself :hun:. I haven't been back since and that was 1990 and I still have PAT :banghead:. But, glad it didn't take long for them to get him taken care of. And yes, I understand about wanting Ed healthy. They should upgrade to total and permanent, takes time though.

We are looking forward to your health improving so that you are able to join us on a group ride soon, Bill. We enjoyed some riding this afternoon after Ed's VA appts, but it was a little chilly as we came home after sunset.
