Then in April of 2005 it returned, prompting a second surgery. “Having had the same procedure 10 years prior, I felt there was something definitely wrong,” says Poirier. Weeks went by, but the post-op swelling of his head worsened. A CAT scan confirmed an infection. “I had to be re-opened to drain out those dead white blood cells, so within an hour I was re-operated on,” Poirier frowns. For eight months he recuperated at home. “I couldn’t work during this time, and my disability insurance refused to pay out (it was a pre-existing condition), so we lived off what we had saved and we had to sell off our X-ray machine and most every-thing we owned just to feed the family and keep us going.” Fortuitously, with their finances al-most funnelled out, the opportunity to enter into the Earthway Family Chiro-practic practice, back in Cornwall, arose. Poirier jumped at the chance to return to his hometown. He inked the deal to take over the practice in mid-2008. “I even re-bought my childhood house that my parents sold 20 years ago, and now I’m reliving my youth through my young boys in that house,” Poirier grins.
