It was like stepping into another universe. It was like a parallel dimension. It was like, oh my gosh,

there's a whole world here that I didn't know existed. And in this world, I can be better.

I mean, it was just, it was phenomenal.

Welcome to like, mind, like body.

I'm Laura Sago, and today I am speaking with a very special member of the curable community, Dan.

When it comes to terrifying symptoms and scary diagnoses, Dan has really been through the ringer.

He had a risky surgical procedure to have a tumor removed from his spinal cord, and after that,

he found himself paralyzed from the chest down.

Luckily, his sensations did slowly come back, but when they returned, they brought pain and symptoms along with them.

On the show today, he talks through his long journey to recovery, what those years of post-surgical pain were like, and his experience with the Curable app.

If you're not already familiar with Curable, you should know that this podcast is a part of the broader curable universe, and that

curable is an app designed to help you take that control from chronic pain and chronic symptoms.

You can try the app for free by visiting curable.com.

In the meantime, let's have a listen to Dan's recovery story and hear more about how he's doing today.

Dan, welcome to the show. I'm so excited to hear more about your story today.

Laura, thank you so much for inviting me.

It's like a full circle for me.

This is huge.

I mean, two years ago, when I was listening to other people's recovery stories, I was praying and crying and thinking,

please, please, please let me one day be in the position

where I can share my recovery story.

Hopefully I can get to that point one day.
