The physical disability? Yeah, I don't mind. The onset of symptoms started when I was in the hospital being treated for deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary embolism (that's blood clots in the legs and lungs, respectively). It started as edema (swelling) in my right foot, resulting in neuropathic pain. The neuropathy has progressed to involve my entire right leg and left also to a slightly lesser extent.
It isn't known what caused it. I stopped going to the doctor a few months after it started, partly because doctors didn't seem to be taking it seriously, and partly because I stopped giving a fuck. I wanted to die. Obviously I'm over that feeling now, and I've got a new doctor that I'm seeing Thursday. I don't know if anything can be done, but we'll see.
Now I want to hug you
Hope you get better man. Sincerely.
