So those who know, know I am going through the VA Disability P&C Process as part of the IDES system which is part of the PEB and the MEB.
Month ago, had a audiological eval, it came out good, very minor hearing loss. Granted she was the cutest girl I ever had do a hearing exam on me (think the only girl too). Knew I should've worn earplugs more.
Couple weeks ago, had the physical eval. Doc who did the eval, when she got me from the waiting area said: You're a hot mess. (I asked for clarification, and she said she is allotted two to three hours for the exam and usually a third of it is for reviewing the records before she gets the patient. She wasn't half way done with mine and had spent an hour and a half.)
Today I had the mental health eval. He was asking question, and I was answering fully, honestly, not holding back. He stopped writing but was still asking questions. Didn't say what the diagnosis/recommendation was, but I got this feeling like I am either going to be picked up by the folks in the white coats and put in a straight jacket or I am sane. Either way, I am scared or you should be. And to top it off, my weekly counseling session, was cancelled for tomorrow.
