I never thought moving back to Miami would be a nightmare. I was nearly killed in Iraq by an IED. We were just riding down the road and lights out. I wake up in a hospital and little did I know my life was turned upside down. Of course I was told if I work hard I would walk again and lead a normal life. What the didn't say was the truth. The injuries would only get worse and there wasn't nothing they could to change anything. I was 32 years old and I the fight of my life. As a man your whole identity is your job. It's how much you make. It's what you do it fulfills you. When you tell someone I am a senior loan officer for the bank. It's your title its your hard work climbing the ladder to success. Imagine men having that stripped away. Cause its only destroyed everything in my life. My wife divorced while I was still in the hospital. I burned through every dime of savings getting lawyers to be able to see my kids. I tried to go back to work only to end up back in the hospital. Now this bullshit the only treatment that allows me to get around and do shit. I can't get cause a pharmacist political beliefs or ideological beliefs. No Pharmacy I been to in this city fills it. It's like the twilight zone. They treat dogs better. Before any says go to the VA hospital their the worse. The don't even follow FDA guidelines and nearly killed me. The VA hospital in New York were great they had good doctors from top hospitals in the area. I guess RFK as the of our dept of health it should be expected. I pray to God we don't get in another war. Because what our boys will face is going to be even worse. All these people that they say support Veterans and military. While we get treated horrible when we come home wounded speaks volumes.
