Rating Decision

Yesterday my husband's packet finally arrived from the VA. It was decided he has service connected PTSD at 50%. While this is not unexpected news, I think it changed the mood around here a little bit. Like that packet smacked us in the face and said "this is for real now, it's going to be long-term, and the last few months of hardship was just practice for the long road ahead." Things definitely have improved since the beginning of all this but it's still a complete lifestyle change. I think I'm going to marinate in all of this for a little while and post my thoughts when I've figured out what exactly IS going through my head about all of this...
