What to do when the sky is falling? hole up with movies and ice cream.

We got some surprising news today, incredibly the woman who booked Seth's re-evaluation on three days notice five hours away from home, and expected a vet with severe PTSD to travel all by himself on a plane to a new place without anything familiar , ALSO didn't get his medical records in time for the doctor's to evaulate them. AH ha you say? how bizarre? well there's more, then said doctor's made ridiculous uninformed decisions about material they have no concept of understanding in one hours time and now are trying to remove all benefits and imprision by husband. For pretending. Who could possibly pretend they have a TBI. You know , pretending that he mistakes words like mushroom and marshmallow EVERY TIME HE SAYS THEM, or losing words, stopping in the middle of a sentence to find them. How about losing all ability to complete simple projects? Hanging a picture? well you can look forward to two hours of banging, swearing, readjusting, six holes, two broken fingers and tears by the end. Ask me how he was at hanging pictures before his goddamn romp in the Iraqi sandbox? just fine thanks. Now let's see, what about something more difficult? how about making a pie and asking him to substitute apples for blueberries? "okay honey just put this can in instead of that can" blank look blank look blank look.... does.. not.. compute.... is that normal? no thought not. What about reading? you know taking words in by looking at them hopefully in some semblance of order to communicate ideas and stories? once an avid reader , at least a book a week he now can barely read a paragraph without a). forgetting the plot line b). having the words move on the page and getting a headache and c) just plain not understanding them. . How can I live with this every day and see all these things and this crazy doctor who has YEARS of teaching and experience thinks he is faking. TO THE POINT that he accuses Seth of faking to all the other doctors he has seen and also accuses those doctors of being wrong and not knowing what they are doing! Absolutely preposterous, and to add that Seth never came to them and said " hey I have a brain in jury" in the first place, THEY were the ones who noticed the problems, THEY were the ones who assigned catscans, and neurology appointments, Speech Therapists, and neuralphysicists.

THEY can kiss my ass because Mama Bear is angry and this is a fight I will win.

WHat to do when the sky is falling? Anti-Aircraft missile would do the job nicely.
