Health Update:

Many parts of my health journey are over. And many others have just begun. As I grieve all that has been lost or not yet recovered, I allow my heart to stretch wide enough to also hold immense gratitude. For all the recovery I have been and continue to experience, and also for everyone who cares. Thank you for your expressions of support as I heal and learn how to pursue a new life, untethered. For the first time ever. I truly appreciate friends and family who have generously contributed food, encouragement, time and energy. (Some friends even collaborated to bring us a giant pot of food, and then refill it again and again until the freezer was full!)

This time has been an intense experiment… as I learn to trust my own “inner and outer being” more and more, I also gain more confidence in my collaborative community. And I look forward to connecting and reconnecting in the future.

In the meantime, I need all the good vibes I can collect while navigating this next phase of recovery. Although it is nothing like what I’ve previously experienced, my past experiences absolutely influence my present decisions toward a stronger and more stable future. Including both capability and accessibility. I am more determined than ever to find my way there… whatever it takes.

UPDATE (10/07/25):

Without community support, I would not have been able to undergo surgery this spring and so many improvements would have been impossible. As grateful as I am that my life has been saved, I am also grieving while recovering without access to the specialized care I need in Manitoba; while being hurt and heartbroken by my continued mistreatment, neglect and misrepresentation. (How can I follow up with my US Specialists if I don’t have a local Specialist who can recognize, let alone treat my conditions?) Every single passing day where I am unable to access this care or my accident related benefits and entitlements affects my short and long-term recovery, my career as well as the rest of my life. There are a lot of other lives affected by this as well, so I remain hopeful for increased awareness among medical professionals, for a spinal specialist and for accountability from: the Minister of Health (to whom I’ve been writing and asking for help since May, 2025), Manitoba Health Out of Province (who continue to unnecessarily delay my access to healthcare), the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba, the office of the Manitoba Ombudsman, the Claimant Advisor Office, the Minister of Justice as well as the Manitoba Human Rights Commission. My Provincial Government claims to be listening and that it keeps its promises, but this has not been my experience. As I said in the video, there is no room for blame… but someone must take responsibility. Justice requires improvement. And specialized care demands action.

Any and all support continues to mean the world to my spouse and I as we navigate the coming phases of my recovery. E-transfers gratefully accepted to: Health @ lindseywhite.com (no spaces) – Password: health
