A couple of back operations didn't cure anything, but instead, things got worse and worse and worse.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My spine healed incorrectly. There were long periods when I'd be perfectly all right, and then there were many other times when I wasn't, when my back would give out and throw me down to the floor amid waves of nauseating pain.
I had some surgery on my feet, which has helped my back some.
If we can make the correct diagnosis, the healing can begin. If we can't, both our personal health and our economy are doomed.
We do a very good job at fixing broken bodies but not such a great job at healing broken minds with our returning veterans.
Work cures everything.
There was a huge, tremendous amount of disabled veterans and the Veteran's Administration just wasn't geared up for it. I know for a fact that it's getting better and better.
Things are going to get a lot worse before they get worse.
On the other hand, I believe there's hope, because the breakdown and the repair are happening simultaneously.
Problems are cured by facing their cause.
The remedy is worse than the disease.
