Optimistic in October
Backyard Crimson
Hi! My name is Bernard, and I have a lower back injury. My partner Nkole and I are writing this blog to share our daily experience of living with this injury, and the process of trying to get appropriate help.
I’m eager to get better and optimistic that that is possible.
Right now there are some substantial obstacles between me and that goal. Some of those challenges are logistical, and financial, though the most daunting is often the lack of information and the generally poor state of medical knowledge when it comes to back care.
I require surgery and will almost certainly have to travel outside of the country for it, since good options are not to be found here at present. This considerably increases the probable expense and difficulty.
