As some of you know I was in operation Iraqi Freedom and I was injured on combat. I have been sick recently and it would just seemed that it would not go away.
After Many trips to the VA hospital they diagnosed me with exposure to deleted uranium. This is found on some of the military armor piercing munitions and I was a gunner on a Bradley troop carrier.
My white and red blood cells are extremely low and I might have to get a blood transfusion in the upcoming weeks. I already have to take shots everyday for it.
They say after my transfusion that I should be back to 100% except for having to take the daily shots. So I ask that all of you keep me in your prayers. I might not be on as much as normal for the next week or so.

That sucks man. Good luck. Depleted uranium is nasty stuff. I was also a Bradley crewman back in the 90's.
