day to day can be it's own event... ranger doesn't want to go back to school. It puts extra pressure on him. However; it does keep some $$ coming in. We have shut the satellite dish off. Got rid of a cell phone. Put another cell phone on a temporary hold for 90 days. Cut back on a few other things just to tighten our $$ belt. Not sure what is next?
He is going through medical testing every so often to try to find out what is wrong. VA is very slow in getting anything done.

We recently found out that the reason he is having problems w/anxiety now is because the VA Dr switch him off Lexapro and put him on some other "depression" med. The new one doesn't do anything for anxiety.

ranger is good most of the time, but it takes nothing to set him off and when he gets set off, it's like a super sonic missile, he's gone to the Totally ticked off land in a nano-second.

my daughter (firefighterchic) is now on the forum as well, trying to learn more and help all of us out. She is a volunteer firefighter/EMT. She is usually the one the inadverently says or does something that causes him to lose his cool.

hope things are going well this minute, this hour, this day, this week, etc for all of you. It's a very difficult road for everyone involved.

Hugs to everyone................
