At 30 years old, I recently suffered from two pulmonary embolisms about two weeks apart. Due to locations of some of the clots, I've been in severe pain, to the point where I couldn't move or do anything for myself. I could not even breathe other than shallow breaths. I was a very physically fit 30 year old. Now I can't take the garbage out or walk across the room without getting winded, or hold a conversation more than a few minutes without needing to stop to catch my breath.
I'm on blood thinners now. I can't seem to do normal everyday things anymore, let alone defend myself in a situation that would only allow non lethal force under normal circumstances. Meaning, I can't risk getting punched even, or being in a fight. Any kind of strenuous activity or trauma can cause me to have another life threatening blood clot.
I could bleed to death or have another blood clot from strenuous activity or trauma apparently. I can't exactly run away anymore. I can't even yell "STOP" more than twice without needing to sit down and take a breather. I'm in WA, and carry a pistol and pepper spray. How does this change my self defense situation from a legal aspect? I do not believe WA has a disparity of force law.
