Although I know this post is going to generate a lot of sympathic traction, that is not my intention, and I appreciate everyone's concern in advance 🫶🏽
I'm an open book and this new development is affecting my ability to be of full service to you - my friends & clients, so I felt it was appropriate to share.
This past Thursday, I was admitted to the hospital for what I thought was the worst migraine of my life. As it turns out, I have a small tear in on one my vertebral arteries (the main one), but they do not think surgery is needed for repair - only time, daily baby aspirin, no heavy lifting, and no rotation of my neck beyond 10 degrees. I was at risk of having a stroke, so they kept me under close observation the entire time.
I also apparently have nocturnal hypoglycemia, which I was subconsciously managing with my midnight snacks, but now I must use an actual monitor, as I could easily slip into a coma in my sleep if my sugar drops beyond a certain level.
I've been home since Sunday.
I knew something was developing based on my Bio-Well scans, but I thought it was simply an exasperation of my pre-existing conditions. I planned to run everything by my doctor during my annual, but the universe had other plans.
I know this sounds like bad news, but overall, it's all good news. At least now I know the "why" behind most of my symptoms.
With that being said, I've tried to work at the same pace that I am used to, but this morning I am realizing I simply can not. My new migraine medication sandbags my congition, and elevated blood pressure from stress can further compromise the weakened artery. So this post is meant to serve as an update regarding my lack of productivity & responsiveness to everyone's messages & inquiries. I have received everything, and I am working through it all, so please do not think I've abandoned you by my lack of responsiveness - please give me up to 48 hours MAX to reply 🫶🏽
I will be prioritizing the markets & community events that I am facilitating first, followed by all baked-goods, tea & tincture orders, in-office appointments, texts & emails afterwards (in that order).
If you are one of my vendors or clients, please TEXT me so I know to circle back to you. This will help immensely.
Thanks for your patience & support as I navigate this next chapter of life 💜
