She is with her group but on LD. She said because of the light duty she just feels like it isn't as much of the group as she was.we have raised strong capable women. As hard as it is for us to sit back this is their time to show us they got this.that said oh my gosh this is making me crazy waiting so long to find out after she talks to them.

Girl boots- my daughter had her knee x-ray over a week ago or two ago I am a nurse and X-ray show nothing but bone damage. She needs a scan done to see if she torn anything. This is really frustrating to me not being able to over see her medical care:( how is your daughter holding up?

Hi Melissa, my daughter is at A school at GL. They have medical on base, but not 24/7. It's more like regular Dr. hours. However, they will take her over to the VA Hospital if it's an emergency. If she needs to be seen by a specialist, the Dr. at medical (on base) will send her to see one. They will take good care of her. Prayers to her for a speedy recovery.

I have a question. :( my daughter hurt her knee.. She did the physical therapy which made it worse. Now her knee hurts 24/7 even without any activity and just gives out on her. She said they are sending her to the doctor on the 5th.. Don't they have a doctor at all times on base?
