This episode is personal and part of Podcasthon 2026, where for one week, thousands of podcasts are highlighting a charity of their choice. I'm sharing my story of waking up one Thursday unable to feel anything from the waist down, emergency surgery, 30 days in a hospital recovery wing, and a diagnosis called Cauda Equina Syndrome (CES) that most people, including a lot of doctors, have never heard of.Learn more and support the Cauda Equina Foundation at https://www.ceslife.org/, and while you're there, check out their Red Flags page. It's a quick read that could genuinely help someone!Also, check out Podcasthon.org if you'd like to participate next year! 📲 Have a question or win to share? Text me!
