Albie,
That's terrible. How do you deal with this?? Please contact the VA for some Gov't-funded assistance,... and possibly some additional disability pay.
Don't worry, the money should be there: I hear congress cut some money from a small group of American retirees, so they can use it for stuff like this, and for "undocumented worker" medical insurance, job counseling, and gym memberships.
p.s. Now that I think about it, I find myself in similar situations at most airshows that I go to. Hmmm....
