"The Blistered Cat"

    From Chapter 4:

 I learned several things about Johnny before the funeral, and I began to understand why he was drinking that fatal night. Johnny loved serving in the army and had volunteered for two tours in Viet Nam but was injured on the second. Shrapnel from a land mine had lodged in his spine, causing him great pain. After he was medically discharged, against his wishes, he was sent home to rejoin society.

    According to Mr. Tuttle, Johnny's agonizing pain was never treated correctly. "If his doctors had given him the medicine he needed, he'd still be alive. When he complained about his pain, the doctors treated him like a whiner and told him to get tough. I can't believe that's how they treated my son, who served his country faithfull and gave his best. A whiner! That's a bag of malarkey," the teary-eyed, frail, and broken old man complained. "It wouldn't do for me to come face to face with those sons of bitches. It ain't no wonder he got tired of going over to the V.A. hospital. I wouldn't send a dog over there. I wish them fancy doctors could have spent one day in his shoes."

    Johnny's grandfather said that when his grandson got home, he just couldn't adjust to the constant pain and started drinking heavily, and that the old red Galaxy 500 was his only reason for living. "We didn't know it would be his chariot to heaven."
