I received 5 stents in my heart 12 years ago - 3 in the LAD, 1 in the diagonal, and 1 in the ramus. After the stents were placed in 1999, I quit smoking (cigars) and quit eating beef and pork. I walk at least 4 to 5 times a week usually 1 to 3 miles a walk. I never had a heart attack and feel truly blessed to have avoided by-pass surgery. I have been a diabetic (type II) for 30 years (strong history of early on-set in my family) and have worked hard at controlling it the last 12 years (my last A1c was 5.9). My problem is I m 59 years old now and the stress/anxiety at work are making it hard to control my blood pressure and I have very little stamina (the diabetes is taking a toll). I m also not as mentally sharp as I was 5 years ago and my hands tingle and have numbness from neuropathy. I would like to work 4 1/2 more years (March of 2016) but I m concerned about being able to do so as I know I m declining at an elevated pace. If I have to stop working before my projected retirement date what are the chances of these conditions qualifying for disability?
