8 U.S. troops die in Afghanistan, making October worst month - World AP - MiamiHerald.com: "The 5th Brigade of more than 3,800 soldiers has been patrolling in the Arghandab Valley and other areas of southern Afghanistan. The brigade's 1st Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment, is assigned to the Arghandab Valley, which has sustained the heaviest losses of any Stryker battalion from roadside bombs, bombs that detonate on foot patrols and small-arms fire in an area of open desert and dense foliage in irrigated farm fields."

It is almost 2am and I am sitting in a hospital room in California still waiting for a flight home. Yesterday our flight got canceled due to weather. I have been on a long trip home, I am glad I dont remember a lot of it but I do know it has been a while.
I have been sent home because I have TBI and a fractured neck. I get headaches all day and a bunch of memory loss. My short-term memory is sporadic at best. I dont know what is going to happen when I get home, I have to get a bunch of tests done to figure out what is going on with me. I was going to be flying home about 2 or 3 times already but they have been changed. I hope today is the day.
