I truly wish you the best. I was re-reading your posts on GoFundMe and they really hit hard today, as one of my sisters is about at the breaking point with her low back issues. She is contemplating lumbar fusion (multi-level, I think three discs but possibly more). So we are collecting all the info and experience we can so she can make the best decision. Back issues are so frustrating and I am just so sorry to see you or anyone else have to live with this, on top of the other challenges you are facing. Your ongoing courage, positive attitude, fearlessness really are an inspiration to me. I wish I had half your perseverance and mental toughness.
With every cell in my body I want you to prevail. In a sense, you are already triumphing because your spirit seems so strong. But I hope the rest gets settled and you get the assistance you deserve.
