P.S. I'd think about getting a second medical opinion. Some doctors are elitist and not much in touch with our work a day world. Without knowing anything of your injury or treatment i think a physician should carefully consider their words when condeming a worker to permanent total disability.
hopefully they just meant it as change of occupation and got carried away.
