Well my lungs aren't my only issue.... I have now been referred to Vascular Surgeon, again....and even with current Insurance I will not be able to afford procedure ( around $2500 to $3000 - my 50% copay ) I had better insurance with last procedure. Severe issues with both lower legs and feet.... Peripheral Chronic Venous Insufficiency Stage C5 The Stage After C5 Is C6 β Active Venous Ulcer C6 is the point where the skin breaks open again and forms a current, active ulcer. Itβs the most severe stage of chronic venous insufficiency. C5 is already a sign of advanced venous disease, and C6 is the stage doctors try hard to prevent because ulcers can last months, sometimes years, and carry infection risks. This is the point where doctors usually have to intervene aggressively because untreated ulcers can lead to serious complications. If a C6 venous ulcer becomes infected and the infection isnβt controlled, it can spread deeper into the leg, into the bloodstream, and become limbβthreatening or even lifeβthreatening. **Yes....those are my feet/legs
PERSONAL FUNCTIONAL STATEMENT Updated October 2026 I am submitting this statement to explain how my medical conditions affect my daily life and prevent me from being able to work on a consistent basis. I experience shortness of breath with very little activity, which has been getting worse over time. Even simple tasks like walking from one room to another, taking out the trash, or standing at the sink to wash dishes cause me to become winded and require me to stop and rest. I cannot walk long distances, climb stairs, or perform any job that requires physical exertion. My breathing problems also make it difficult to tolerate heat, humidity, or being on my feet for extended periods. I have peripheral venous insufficiency and a history of recurrent DVTs, which cause swelling, heaviness, and pain in my legs. Standing or walking for more than short periods increases the swelling and discomfort. I cannot perform jobs that require standing, walking, lifting, or being active throughout the day. I also have episodes of low blood pressure, which cause dizziness and make it unsafe for me to work in environments where balance or alertness is required. I suffer from chronic fatigue that affects me every day. Even after sleeping, I wake up feeling exhausted. My fatigue makes it difficult to stay focused, maintain pace, or complete tasks without frequent breaks. I am currently being evaluated for possible sleep apnea, which further affects my daytime functioning. I also deal with chronic pain, including back pain, muscle spasms, neuropathic pain, and a knee injury. These issues limit my ability to sit, stand, bend, lift, or stay in one position for long. Pain increases with activity and interferes with concentration and stamina. In addition to my physical conditions, I have anxiety and depression, which affect my ability to handle stress, stay organized, and maintain consistent productivity. The medications I take for mental health and pain often cause drowsiness, slowed thinking, and reduced alertness. Because of the combination of breathing problems, vascular issues, chronic fatigue, pain, and mental health symptoms, I am unable to perform work reliably or safely. I cannot sustain fullβtime employment, maintain a normal work pace, or complete a full workday without needing unscheduled breaks or rest periods. My symptoms are persistent, occur daily, and significantly limit my ability to function both at home and in any work environment. This statement is true and reflects my daily limitations as accurately as possible.
Summary Statement of Disability I have multiβsystem chronic medical conditions including coronary artery disease with reduced ejection fraction, COPD with persistent respiratory distress, recurrent DVT with chronic leg pain and swelling, musculoskeletal injuries causing mobility limitations, and severe depression/anxiety impairing cognitive and emotional functioning. I experience shortness of breath, chest pain, leg pain, numbness, dizziness, fatigue, and repeated infections, all of which significantly limit my ability to stand, walk, lift, concentrate, and sustain fullβtime employment. My conditions are persistent, medically documented, and worsening, with objective findings including Heart Left ventricular EF (Ejection Fraction) 45β55%, recurrent DVT, chronic cellulitis, and moderateβsevere mentalβhealth scores. I have functional limitations consistent with disability, including inability to perform prolonged standing, walking, lifting, or reliable attendance due to respiratory distress, vascular pain, and mentalβhealth instability.

YouTube can feel like a fullβblown cesspool when youβve been burned enough times. Itβs a place where people smile in your comments, preach loyalty on camera, and then flip the script the second it benefits them. The platform is packed with fake personalities chasing clout, creators whoβll stab you in the back for a view, and hypocrites who pretend to be saints while stirring drama behind the scenes. Itβs a digital swamp where masks are cheap, betrayal is common, and the loudest voices are often the ones with the least integrity β and when youβre a real creator trying to put your heart into your work, you feel every bit of that grime.
