Being an Army, injuried male spouse with my wife deployed to Afghansistan sense July 12.  It has not been easy for me, espically being injuried.  I spend days going to doctors, "Hperbaric Oxygen Therapy", and physical therapy.

I stay lonely.  The people here at the end of Normandy Rd are not friendly at all.  I mean, I am the only male spouse around and the female spouse's army husbands have not deployed yet.  I have tried speaking to them to make friends but have failed.  I mean, they know I am crippled and act like they don't care.  I just as well be living out in the country, really!  It's as if I am the only male spouse at Fort Carson.  I am able to keep this apartment clean but, it's hard.  I do a little at a time.  I do get calls from home now and then and from my army camera man but that's about it.

No one comes to visit to say "hello".  It appears if I am not able to go back Louisiana for Christmas, It's going to be the loneliness Christmas I will ever have had.
