Well, after years of doctors appointments and ER visits I'm currently waiting for SSDI to determine if my physical ailments are debilitating enough for disability. My doctor says I shouldn't be walking more than 100 feet at a time due to knee and hip damage and I looked through my records to see all the things I have been diagnosed with. In 2023 I rushed myself to the ER with difficulties breathing, cold sweats, and erratic pulse. Keep in mind that I have 20 years in the medical field. The ER doctor said I was fine. The ER nurse said I was having a minor panic attack. The scans they sent to the specialist showed I had a partially collapsed lung and fluid buildup. They sent me home with a bill and told me I was just overreacting and stressed out. Hmm, pretty strange for me to find this out 2 years later while going over my records.
I also found out that I have some spurs and arthritis in my neck, 2 torn rotator cuffs, cysts on my AC joints from repeated tears, arthritis in my elbows, wrists, hands, hips and knees. I'm doing my best as I try to make due on bills selling the few things I can part with without losing everything. Sold my Jeep, truck and trailer to cover a few bills but its tough going when everyone in my area is struggling or want something for nothing. Can't even find a decent offer on my LifePixel Full Spectrum Conversion DSLR. People whine because its got 6k on the shutter count but don't care that it has a 100k life and can be replaced for $150
