Round and Round we go.......

What can I say, I'm so fed up with how slow the Veterans Affairs are with giving my husband a response to his appeal to his rating for service related injuries. To get you up to speed, My very brave hubby fell off a 15-20 ft wall over in Iraq while on patrol back in 2005, completely taring his ACL and meniscus in half in his right knee, dislocating his shoulders and bruising and spraining his lumbar. We have been battling the VA since his return and discharge from active duty in 2006. Its just so frustrating, it feels like were just keep going round and round with them constantly. We gave them all the information/evidence we have including all the witness statements from my hubby's comrades. The last we heard (in September 2011) was they are only on Appeals from July 2008, we are March 2010 of when we appealed their decision. My poor hubby is in so much pain, every time he hurts I get more and more upset and frustrated with how slow it is taking, he needs a major surgery to will take between 6-9 months to recover from. I just wish they would hurry up and make a decision so we can move on to the next step, praying and hoping its surgery (fingers crossed). We have done everything possible to prevent/pros pone surgery as much as possible, but his knee and back and shoulders keep getting worse, day after day.
