HEALTH UPDATE - THE PROCESS

What you see is a PICC line which runs through the bicep and into the middle of the chest.  It delivers what is the most powerful antibiotic.  Every other day they measure whether I am still resistent to antibiotics.  The last lab work shows I am still resistent to antibiotics.  

Things are still a go for Monday or Tuesday the latest to go home.  I will have a parttime nurse, and a driver to take me to the therapy.  Every morning for 5 weeks I will be at the antibiotic infusion therapy facility.

Once home I will be able to print and have notarized a lot of documents, I have prepared in the John Doe case.  I will continue with three mandamuses and the federal lawsuit, while the Dallas attorney handles the trial issues.  I am confident a stay will issue which will result in dismissal of the case. 

I feel terrible for my hospital doctors because the VA is being difficult.  They just do not get it.  There is actual lab work which indicates I remain resistant to antibiotics, and the MRI with contrast clearly shows the massive infection in the mastoid area and within the sinuses. The VA actually would not approve the continued antibiotic care for the outpatient clinic. My infectious disease doctor made the argument.

I am so tired of having to educate the VA staff.  Because of the complexity of my case and the endless mistakes by the VA, no nursing service will come to my house.  There is a legal duty to justify their decision which the VA can challenge.  The service can lose their contract with the VA.  I made it clear I will call for the investigation against the services if the VA does not force them to comply with the regulations. 

 They were prepared to send me home to manage the care on my own. I need three days of being walked through the process.  It is not an all-day thing. They just need to make sure I can manage the insulin, and my part of the infusion therapy.  If I do the therapy wrong, there will be no benefit.

I am so tired of federal workers thinking they work for the private companies and not the veterans, or section 8 tenants as opposed to the apartment complexes which is how they operate, as two examples.
