Every person who has ever undergone a very traumatic experience knows,  the effects can sometimes damage a persons physical and mental health for a lifetime. Although, Prince is one of: “Hollywood’s” “sweethearts” and “favorite persons,” (*NOTE)  He may seem very strong and durable, and he really truly, honestly is, but due to these accidents, often for hours or even days after traveling, driving, to a destination, hosting a show, a stage performance, or a full day at work, he is usually in a lot of pain (that you cannot see.) That comes from withinside, and from within his body. 

Prince says: “I hurt every day,” It is excruciating at times, then at others I get lucky & I am pain free.

 Then: “Some days, “due to the pain, etc… “I am mentally fit- and- others not as much. But, I make the best of every day!”

With three “Major-Surgeries,” (under his belt,)  including one on his “spine and lower back,” (that does include a “microdiscectomy” with a fusion,) The Prince (was / is) considered  “extremally vulnerable,” and “very susceptible.”  He  was granted documentation that awards and afford him some of the “Partial” benefits of being, “legally disabled.”   

Why only partial? because he is ambulatory, and is realistically “semi-disabled,” Per the (Multi- states approvals) but the frequency and consistency of his injuries and surgeries does “Qualify” him for being “semi-disabled” (Aka) Partial Benefits. ie..parking, traveling and driving benefits. but as of right now, does not qualify for 100% full disabled handicapped BENEFITS (ONLY PARTIAL.) 

between the years of 2018 through 2023 by the State of California, The California Department of Motor Vehicles and Doctor Eric William’s of North East Valley Medical Center in Van-Nuys, California for 5 consecutive years. (also) by  State of Mississippi doctors. Yes, he can walk, and appear normal for a day or even several in a row , then his “SPINE” /  “BACK ” (occasionally) relapses, forcing him to suffer, in extreme pain, after doing everyday things or strenuous activities.

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST A HANDICAPPED PERSON

Please be patient, when this happens, he does become in a lot of pain and although you may not be able to tell, (ONE OF HIS JOBS AS A FAMILY SHOW HOST, IS TO ALWAYS KEEP A SMILE) (EVEN UNDER PRESSURE.)  At times, the prince does actually become,  100% disabled.  But most of the time it is,  “semi-disabled.” These “Spinal Relapes” cause him to halt his travels, rest, sleep, relax or not do anything. Sadly he was even fired, and threatened to be fired, for needing to rest and relax by employers. AND believe it or not, was illegally arrested for having a “SPINAL-RELAPSE,” while traveling and being disabled, in pain, needing to rest / relax.)  (It can take up to 10 years to fully recover from Major “Spinal Cord” DAMAGE/  injury / “Spinal back” surgery.” )  (*NOTE) sometimes there is no recovery and the injury in permanent.

It should also be known that Prince has traveled the western united states all of his life. Volunteering his physical and mental health well being for over 50 “non profit” “reputable non governmental charity organizations.”  He has also Performed with and for: Major League Baseball Teams,  Professional dating services: such as “great expectations,”  and many live shows, events attending functions, Gayla’s, even political campaigns.  He has literally worked with and talked to millions of people and his images have been seen by over 100 billion persons across the planet.

As you can imagine: (All of this) “making people happy” and “entertaining people” can take a toll on a persons mind and body!
