Well, sort of. I would have gone back anyway (I had a girlfriend in Pune, as the pictures sort of hint at, and no reason to be in the US), but my return trip would have been slower and passed through more interesting places.
The OP is absolutely right that it would have been more difficult for me if I knew nothing whatsoever about India. However, I probably could have paid a couple of thousand USD more and OnP (the hospital I stayed at) would handle things for me. I know they have a medical tourism office, albeit catering primarily to gulf residents.
- jacquesm 11y agoGood to see you on the other side of this. Any surgery is risky and if your troubles are gone that's fantastic news. Are you still in touch with the people there for check-ups or is it done for good?
- yummyfajitas 11y agoI hope it's done for good, but being 6'6" means that there is always risk of further injury. No point in a checkup - no pain = no problem. I'm not deadlifting anymore, however.
- ahh 11y agoFWIW deadlifting definitely helped, not hurt, after my back injury. (Admittedly, I hurt it deadlifting with poor form, but fixing the form and strengthening my back with it was the single biggest contributor to getting better.) MMV, of course.
