Why is my country trying to take away my way I support my family.

That’s a great story of recovery. Shows it’s possible.

 

I still have the letter I received from the Virginia DMV informing me of my canceled driving privileges! NOT suspended! Canceled! I had already mentally prepared myself after that last appt with my Neurologist! I had plans to stay in the industry! All of that fell apart in a matter of about 3 weeks. I then started to remember all the drivers I have known over the years that got medically removed! I also know two ATP holders that had to medically retire! It sucks! I hope the OP all the best in the world! I hope the OP can best this and I echo @REO6205 on getting with a good cardiologist!

 

And the world wonders why there's a driver shortage. I read, CDOT is facing a driver shortage of 161 drivers for snow plowing this winter. Since I'm retired, and have no plans to travel, I couldn't care less, but it's unheard of. These positions pay in the high $20 dollar range with tons of overtime PLUS the best benefits, nobody is applying or the ones that do can't pass the physical. There was a time, not too long ago, there would be a waiting list for those jobs. Kind of sad to see just how low this country will sink.

 

I understand your point and I agree with it. However, with my seizures, my doc had no other choice and neither did the state of Virginia. I'm still sad about all of it. But I don't blame anybody!

 

You had an EF of 14-18 and now it’s “FIXED?”Care to expand on how it was FIXED

 

Fixing....
Remember that your arteries affect your heart. They say the legs are half the heart.
.
Garlic and Lemmon. They’re great at cleaning your arteries.
Stronger is 4 lemons, 5 garlic. In blender. Put in a gallon of water. Simmer for 7 minutes. Strain and cool. Drink 8 to 12 ounces a day till gone.
I always drink unsweetened tea with lemon at dinner. Will opt for garlic toast when I can.
Just keeping the arteries working does a bunch. I have adjustable dumbbells in my truck. Lifting them does a bunch for my upper body cardio. Results I can feel in my legs.
My cardio. I used to have a great heart cardio system. I ran 3 marathons in my life. Then when I was working trash. I was great at falling on ice. But one time caught me by surprise. Got injured lower back. Result pain in legs. Was so bad. First year couldn’t even sleep without pain. This brought down my entire cardio system.

 

The blood pressure at DOT physical. My last physical. They didn’t even bother to check my blood pressure. I told them I knew it would be high. All I have to do is breathing exercises. Brings it down. Told them they give me a full 5 minutes with my breathing exercises. I can get BP very low.
They know about breathing exercises for BP. They didn’t bother to check.

 

To the OP, if medically unable to drive, is there nothing else you are able to do? I don’t want to sound mean, cold-hearted, crass, etc., but come on, nothing?
My Father was a 40yr Teamster, got tired of driving and took a position in the plant at 60 years old. He retired at 66 years old, then worked part time at Walmart for another 10 years after that.
There is always something a person can do to earn money. There are ‘help wanted’ signs all over this country.
