new news!
Well, I was sorta hoping that the military just lost his number, but they didn't, and they called Tim last night. Let's do a quick review of what we've done so far:
1) spent nearly a grand on medical bills to prove that tim has a condition that prevents him from serving capably.
2) got a letter from his school saying he's enrolled and would have to basically start his program over if he took 1.5 years off.
3) got a letter from his old army people saying he was incapable of doing anything while in active duty and therefore would not be a good candidate for deployment.
4) sent a copy of all of his active duty medical records proving that the condition has existed for years.
So last night the guy calls Tim and says "well we're going to need you to prove that you're still in school" (ok, that makes sense, if they're going to delay him they need updated proof) "and also we're going to need proof that the injury still exists."
UM....WHAT? No, it randomly went away on its own, despite its continued existance for years and a doctor's swearing that surgery is needed to make it better. Yeah, it went away. No, I'm not lying.
Moral of the story is, no way are we spending money to have more tests and doctors appointments (insurance doesn't cover it as it is a pre-existing condition). Tim told the guy so, and said he would NOT be paying for the surgery out of pocket, but he also would not accept the military doctors doing it. Needless to say the guy was annoyed.
So Tim's going to re-prove that he's still in school by going tomorrow to get another form that says yes he's still in school and on track and then we'll wait to hear what the dipshits have to say next. This is going to go well into Obama's term, I have a feeling.
