Ya know Rap, I had a CVA event in my late twenties. I heard it pop. Diabetes 2 at 60 with the typical foot neuropathy, tinnitus since my teens due to gunpowder, and PTSD from a schoolyard fight that fractured my skull. I didn't mention migraine, severed nerves etc.

These are dented fenders anyone can get!
I have never claimed a disability. If I had shrapnel from war or long-term PTSD it would be a different story.

Fighting for medical assistance is valiant! But you might be virtually trained and accustomed or addicted to 'disability status.
You are clearly doing something right. Considering the alternatives you have much to be thankful for.
How well you heal/adjust might just be a matter of genes (or the right magic foods). I might look 20 years younger than my age but that was from avoiding the sun or plain damn luck.

If agent orange had done its worst I'm betting you would not be here.
Face it buddy you are made of stronger stuff.
