It rained all day yesterday and that gave me a chance to dawdle in the house and relax. Had a pile of bills and correspondence so I attacked that. I had a letter from the VA wanting more documentation on the appeal we filed back in February so gathered all of that up. I also had another letter from them wanting to confirm how many dependents Cowboy had.
This morning I went to see the Texas Veterans Commission representative that I have been working with and we got the paperwork all lined out. Needed Cowboy's signature on some things. Even though I have a power of attorney and am the appointed fiduciary for his affairs the VA still wants his signature. They just have their own set of rules that defy understanding.
I drove up to see Cowboy. It was a beautiful day today and much cooler so we walked around outside and then sat outside for a good long while.
We went back to his room and I tried to explain that I needed him to sign some papers. He takes them and tries to read and understand them. I don't think even a PHD could understand why we are having to resubmit stuff that they already have. Actually, I am not sure that they didn't hire a monkey to create these forms. They in no way have anything that remotely relates to the case. Anyway, after staring at them for a good long while he asks more questions. It is a difficult exercise because he can't comprehend much of what I am saying.
He finally signs in all the right places and now I just need to get a form to the doctor and we will send it all in again. The Commission said to expect it to take 2 more years to hear anything.
I missed going to book club this morning but I had not finished the book so wouldn't have had much to contribute.
I bought a bicycle today from a neighbor for exercise. It is going to take a little while to get comfortable on it but should be good for me. and the weather is cooler and so I am actually willing to get out. I bought a "trike" once several years ago when I was having foot issues but I really didn't like riding it and ended up selling it.
Still sitting on the Mazerati. Went out to start it yesterday and the battery was dead. Next week when I have more time I will have to deal with that.
