    Dear heavenly Father, I pray that You will heal Brass Magnet and take all sign of his medical afflication away. Calm his fears and the fears of his family and allow him the use of the best medical professionals to cure his symptoms. I ask this in Your name because we recognize that You are in charge and that you only ask for our obedience. Amen

    Just a quick update.

    Next week I am scheduled for an EGD at the VA to see if gastric reflux is at fault for the coughing.
    Next week I am scheduled for a ultrasound at the VA to look at one of the nodules.
    In three weeks I am scheduled for a MRI at the VA to look at my chest.
    The VA has approved local non-VA doctors to diagnose and treat the thyroid and lung, Otolaryngologist and Pulmonary specialists here in Grand Junction. Both are supposed to contact me to schedule appointments within a week of the letter's date. So by next Wednesday I should have appointments.

    In summary, the VA is working quickly to diagnose and treat my health issues.

    At least something in the Gov. is working to our advantage.

    Your OP strikes a bit close to home, my pulmonary doc has been scratching his head over my recent imaging results. If you want a second opinion from a good doc who will tell you straight PM me, I'll even put you up in my guest room so you won't have to get a motel room to see him.
    You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

    I've never had the pleasure to talk or do any deals with you on the forum but you have made me laugh more than once when you beat out another member in the swap & sell section.
    I'm happy to see that you are at least receiving some fast help from the VA. My time with them back in the late 60's and early 70's after my tour of duty was nothing but a giant frustration. They actually gave me one appointment that was a year wait.
    My prayers will be said that you have a speedy and worry free recovery from whatever health problems arise. Our medicine has improved by giant leaps in the past 10 years and they now can do things that were considered a miracle in the past. Take Care, David

    to one who stood for America
    May your medical team be spot on and the cure be a long lasting one
    May your fears and concerns be calmed by the great healer
    May your family be calmed and comforted
    May you once again find calm and be able to look into the future
    Most of all thanks for your service and also sacrifices

    You've got my prayers Ron. Never underestimate the powder of a bunch of people all praying for one person.
    He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
    You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
    You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."

    Glad to see the VA is responding properly, and I hope the outcome of all their testing is good.
