GAG,
You would think pain killers were the problem, but actually, being career Army, he had to be in intense pain to take anything at all. Even the mildest of pain killers.

He did, however, return with PTSD, which he battled with, the sleeplessness and depression for five years. Also keeping that under wraps due to his career in the Army.

My H is due to be retired both medically and in years by the end of this year. He will receive both medical disability and usual retirement. If he is able to work, he will be up for a highly paid military contract work. I think she's using him for that.
