I figured it was finally time to explain my absence from Little County Gems, social media, and life as we know it. 😜 Last year my doctor was working hard to help figure out why I had been so sick and what was making my bloodwork so abnormal. I went through a stage of heart failure, fluid in the lungs/respiratory distress and medication changes. I had three knee surgeries last year, all the same knee, all the same surgeries. I never recovered after each surgery. I also was struggling with severe nerve pain in both arms. After more bloodwork, biopsies and specialist, we have discovered that Lupus is the issue. We also discovered a few other issues like gastroparesis and severe anemia to all be addressed. It has been such a journey to get answers and now I see specialists in Boston to help manage the various issues. 🙌🏼 What does that mean for Little County Gems? I will start posting items available again. But I will only be posting items that are already made. On occasion I will take custom orders, but because my health is all over the place, it is t sustainable for me to do it consistently. I will be inactive as far as custom orders are concerned over the next two months as I go through two more surgeries and recovery.
