I've been registered disabled since 2002 when I had 2 strokes. Since then I've suffered with them and TIA'S on multiple occasions. I've been diagnosed with Prothrombin Gene Variant which is a problem with the blood. Within the last 7 seven I had to have my large colon out as a blood clot had killed it. During the op I died but they managed to revive me. I died again in the hospital ward so they had to take me back into the operating theatre where I died again on 2 occasions.
I also have Malleus Pemphigoid which is a skin disease and apparently I'll have it for life because of my blood disease.
I have 4 screwes and an iron bar in my left wrist because I fell and broke it in 2 places. Because of this I have arthritis in my hand.
I also have arthritis in my spine.
Other than that I'm fine.
