(5,420 posts)that I am not his doctor. Everything else he does makes me tend to believe that he is faking but I have no final decision. There are things about what he is able to do, that tend to confirm he is not nearly as disabled as he pretends. But I have not seen these things myself.
I also mentioned how people tend to think that if someone can walk, they are faking when they are not. I understand this. I had an injury at work in my shoulders. Heaven help me if I were to raise one arm up. Everyone at work would go, "I thought you were injured?" I would have to tell them that I never said I could not lift my arms, just that I could not do it repeatedly over a thousand times in a row like my job required. But many immediately became crappy to me. Like I was getting something they could not have (light duty) and that pissed them off. They knew they would have to work there for decades more while I would be out the door eventually.
I also said that the republicans need to show us a faker and we will show them a republican. It is not in the majority of dems mindset to cheat the system like that. But getting money for nothing is right up the republican alley.
I'm glad you got better by the way.
