I am so horrified at what happened to you in the hospital in Texas! My god, I can't believe even a halfway decent lawyer couldn't have gotten a pretty good settlement for you. Ugh, such incompetence by the medical staff!
Just wondering, your Mayo name sounds like you fly airplanes. Are you still doing it or was that before the horrendous injury? If you are still flying I am in even more awe of you. 😲
Best to you, Hank

Thank you for your kind words, Hank.
I am a private pilot. My husband and I lived in our own 100 acre airport and made a living in aviation. We flew all over the country and I miss it terribly.
While I could still physically fly, I can no longer get a medical (which allows you to exercise the privileges of my pilot’s license) due to the fact that I take opioids for the pain.
As for the legal issues, it was a mess. Although I had a perfectly healthy back before the surgery and came out of the hospital with my tail bone snapped off, I wasn’t properly diagnosed until 5 months later. Since whatever happened to me was denied by the hospital, I had no proof. If I had an x-ray of my intact tail bone immediately before the surgery and another one showing the break immediately afterwards, I would have had a case. As it was, the hospital claimed I could have broken it any time after I left the hospital. Only God and I know the truth.
