    aorta aneurism. Is that like a little bulge that DOT only allows just a few less than I have to keep a CDL?
    Problem was needed 4 bypasses to get flow. Got that, but some protruding bulge on my aorta just bulged barley over DOT allowances. Lost CDL in 2012...

    Depends on the severity. Headaches,dizzy, chest pains. Ultrasound will determine the size of the aorta expansion. 5.5 cm is surgery.

    Ya, the Teamsters are really hot under the collar on this one. It will reduce the Union’s take from their beloved brothers and sisters with a loss of dues for a little over 22 Million a year. That’s a big enough hit to have to lay off some of the no-show business agent positions, that are critical for keeping the peace in certain “controlled locales”;)

    failed my football physical when i was 17 , they did a arterialgram shot dye in , that was special, and the whole 9 . Doc put me on 5mg tenorman , spelling , let me tell ya it kills the ego when there's no lead in the pencil at 17 . I was on it for a yr , took me off of it , docs decided my left kidney is smaller than the right one and was the cause of it . Never been back on BP meds .

    They will do that here as long as someone is around, but that's not real often since the F.S. here is all volunteer.
