Finally a court date

Its been about 2 and a half years since I started to do the process of getting on disability. Its something I never thought I would have to do and something I never wanted to or want to do still. The lack of income and stacking up bills is a burden all in itself. I'm sure there are many of you in the same boat. I'm very lucky to have insurance.
Anyway back to the SSD. The first two times they denied me was because I was too young and that I could still be a security guard. What am I to do? Throw my oxygen tank at the perp? I would rather work more than anything in the world. I feel like since this beast has taken over, chunks of my soul, that connected me to my ambulance crew was ripped out. No warning and no way to get back the licence that lapsed this year,
I'm nervous because the fate lies in the hands of one judge. Meeting them one time. I know I have mountains of paperwork and a gazillion docs have written letters on my behalf. Yes I am sitting at a computer right now. My usual time if its a good day I only last on here around 20 minutes and have to go lay down again. How can someone work like that? I take weeks off to be in the ICU for Nitro treatments that leave me to recoup at home. I can't give a certain yes to "I'll be there" , I'm not granted that decision. I see this is the only way I just wish jokers weren't scamming the government and that makes it harder for me.
Do any of you have advise for me when I go to court? Important things that I can get ready before? Yes I do have an attorney. Besides my heart being the main star in the show I also have an 8% disability rating for my ankle.
Thanks all :/ I'm a nervous wreck.
