BACKBONE is a memoir about extraordinary medical events, two major surgical errors, and the far-reaching aftershocks that permanently altered life. This is the story of the heroic who intervened and those who abandoned. The person behind the x-ray tells a tale of fears confronted, gut instincts trusted, and a life rebuilt with courage, determination, and authentic backbone. This book raises awareness for invisible disabilities, management of chronic pain, and Cauda Equina Syndrome (CES), a less common spinal cord injury. Globally, accurate diagnoses of CES, prior to permanent damage, are still being missed to this day.
