His vehicle was hit by an IED yesterday morning. He was in the driver seat, and it hit on his side. HIs gunner was killed on impact. DH suffered shrapnel wounds to the neck, chest, side, arm, shoulder and back. His left side is extremely swollen and they are unable to determine what else is wrong until the swelling goes down. He has no feeling in his left hand.
He has been air-evaced to Germany, and I will be following shortly after.
I am so emotional right now I don't even know what to do with myself. We lost one of our friends, and I am so sad. This kid was 19 years old...a baby. I feel guilty that I'm glad it was him instead of my DH. I feel MAD and ANGRY that we are in this shit to begin with. NOTHING is worth all of this.
Sorry, just needed to vent. I will probably be MIA for awhile, as I don't think I will have access nor time for posting for awhile.
