It makes sense that she'd have that. <BR/><BR/>Lots of soldiers who've been in Iraq and Afghanistan have PTSD. It's a very difficult thing to get over.

She talkes constantly, excitedly and can not sleep. She talks to anyone about anything. Dr concerned, had a CAT scan this morning, nothing wrong with her. No visitors for the next couple of days.<BR/><BR/>A memory of Leanne swept through my mind during church and the thought of her dying made me start to cry.<BR/><BR/>It was July 19th, my birthday, around 1998. I live in the on-campus apartments like she did. Her and Janna (cant rememeber her last name) bought me a b0day cake, and a gallon of sweet tea and we had a b-day part for me in their on campus apartment. It was very nice. I dont think any of you guys were there that summer, so i needed that.JShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837745315360109036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13746420.post-1146877663355002632006-05-05T19:07:00.000-06:002006-05-05T19:07:00.000-06:00SHe has been moved to a room, out of the ICU thing...SHe has been moved to a room, out of the ICU thingy.JShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837745315360109036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13746420.post-1146850786130142932006-05-05T11:39:00.000-06:002006-05-05T11:39:00.000-06:00it may not hurt, but it was uncomfortable and unat...it may not hurt, but it was uncomfortable and unatural feeling.
