Oh, no. That is not the kind of benefit for the many, many years that you gave this country.

@JamesW57 …. Have you thought about engaging a patient advocate from the VA? They can be a lot of help when you have problems with care.

Here’s a link that may help you.

Thank you Jamie. I will certainly engage with them.

Update. Had my revision surgery on 1 July 2025 due to loosening. I am out of surgery and dealing with the pain. It took him 2 1/2 hours but the doctor is optimistic. He said he had to “work me over” due to my bone density/calcification and scar tissue. Obviously very painful but definitely a different pain than before. That is a good thing. I start PT next Monday and will take it slow and steady. After 2 years of this I am very excited to watch the progress. Thanks to this forum I am much more aware of how to attack this process. Can’t thank you enough. James
