    Other Comments:

Since early 1980's, I started having problems with Agent Orange related illnesses.
My issues are:
Diabetes II - Insulin Dependent
Isclemic Heart Disease (Coronary Artery Disease) - triple bypass in 2004 - had a Heart Attack and Stent put in March 2015.
Diabetic Neuropathy - feet, legs and hands
Interstitial Lung Disease (Pulmonary Fibrosis) - single  lung transplant 2009 (gives me more time)
Small Vessel Disease of Interior Brain - secondary cause due to diabetes.
A-Fib - I take Plavix and Warfarin for blood thinning.
Bladder Cancer - currently undergoing chemotheraphy.
Stage III Kidney Disease - side effect of all the medicines I'm on due to lung transplant.
Stroke & Loss of half my eyesight - was having a angiogram and suffered a stroke resulting in losing half my right eyesight and the right periphral in my left eye.
