Let's see if you can guess this;

Now, anytime that you suddenly get shortness of breath attacks and your heart is beating way too fast and out of control (a 160 rate to be exact), them you're rushed by ambulance to the nearest hospital like I was, then you're given IV medicines (lasix and Ameoderone) to get your heartrate back down to near normal levels, then you're sedated and ultrasounded to make sure that you don't have any blood clots near your heart & lungs and then you're sedated again to have your heart cardioverted back to it's normal beat, then you are told by your cadiologist and doc that you can no longer do any strenuous work, what does that tell you?
Yes, there is nothing too shocking there. But this has nothing to do with what I said in my last post. You were clearly getting defensive (and still are). The comments "Got it now?" makes that quite clear.

As for your condition - that's fine - you have a serious medical condition and need to avoid strenuous activity. Not all work is strenuous. Plus I have not suggested once that you don't deserve or need support from the Government (i.e. 'disability' payments) if you can't support yourself. My point was something quite different to that, but you chose to leap into defensive mode rather than see it.

When I say 'disability is a state of mind' that is not the same as saying that physical conditions do not exist or have an impact. Of course they do, but you can choose to manage a condition in whatever ways are available to you, or you can choose to surrender yourself to it.
