Let me run this by y'all, and you tell me if I'm barking up the wrong tree.
Service Connected badly screwed-up left ankle. It's bad enough that I have a great amount of pain while attempting to walk. The VAMC has me in a orthosis (brace).
I just found out today that I suffer from Sleep Apnea. The main reason that I suffer from this Sleep Apnea is that I am overweight. I'm overweight due to the fact that I can barely stand, because of the pain in the leg/ankle, to walk or to bear weight on my left leg. So I don't get any exercise, thereby leading to my overweight situation.
Doc says that my Sleep Apnea is connected to my weight which is connected to my SC'd left leg/ankle.
What do y'all think? Think I should file a claim for the Sleep Apnea, or, for that matter, my extra 50 lbs. ?
"It is cold and we have no blankets.
The little children are freezing to death.
My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food; no one knows where they are-perhaps freezing to death.
I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find.
Maybe I shall find them among the dead.
Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad.
From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."
