Bio
I'm broken. Easy enough. 18 months Afghanistan. 13 IEDs, shot 4 times. All as a govyt contractor. Lived with nightmares and night sweats 8 years. Now. Now I get lightheaded, vertigo or just fall down. Cant work. VA has done 100000$ worth of test and dont tell me anything. Frustrated is a very calm word of were I am now. I'm covered in bruises from falling. I cant work and all social services are unresponsive.
