Sorry to hear you've been in the wars.
I wish I could think of something encouraging to say or some advice to give but the best I can do is my father's favourite joke...
Deaf veteran. Please help said the beggar's sign.
"Gawd" said the passerby, "It must be a terrible thing to be deaf."
"Ah, it's not the worst" said the deaf beggar. "I was blind last week and some bugger gave me a duff pound note."
Oh, that's a good one! Thanks for the chuckle.
