Donate to Help Logan Fix His Spine

My name is Logan, and I'm trying to fix my spine.

For the last several months, I've been living with extreme lower back pain and sciatica mostly in my right leg. Some days were better than others. One minute I'd be walking fine, the next I'd be yelling in pain to just stand up, clothe and cook for myself. I'm not great at accepting help, and I thought I could continue my day job, and just work through it using a mix of self-care at home, a cane to walk more deliberately, and some over the counter Aleve.

However, after a terrifying incident where my legs went completely numb, I finally got into proper care. After several doctor visits, a chiropractor, physical therapy, X-rays, an MRI, and a specialist referral, we have a diagnosis: degenerative disc disease, and lumbar spinal stenosis.

This is to say they found out my spine in my lower back and tailbone are pinching on important nerves, hence causing the profound, fluctuating pain.

Unfortunately, while I've been doing all these appointments and tests, I've been on medical restrictions at my day job, and not able to do my usual tours (and missing out on any gratuities I relied on), all while the weekly medical bills have almost completely depleted what savings was there.

So, I'm turning to crowdsourcing for help.

If you can donate anything, know that it will be used to get me back on my feet, get ahead of funding all these procedures, and hopefully allow me to start doing my tours again a.s.a.p.

The good news is I'm finally on the road to recovery.

The medication regimen I just started this weekend shows great promise, and I finally feel "on the mend."

Ahead of me are outpatient epidural procedures, nerve tests, continued physical therapy, and possibly more.

To not worry about the financial part of my recovery would be a great help.

Thank you to everyone for your love, encouragement, help, and consideration.
