A Personal Update to My Wonderful Customers ❤️
Many of you have probably noticed that I've been a little quiet this past week, and I wanted to let you know why.
What I thought was "just" a kidney stone turned into one of the most painful and unexpected weeks of my life. After several trips to the emergency room, I developed a serious kidney infection that required emergency surgery to place a stent and several days in the hospital.
I'm happy to say I'm finally back home, but my journey isn't over. Right now my focus is on eliminating the infection, reducing the swelling in my kidney, and preparing for another procedure in about a month to break up and remove the stone. If all goes according to plan, my recovery will take about six weeks.
Because of this, I have made the difficult decision to cancel my participation in a few upcoming events until I'm healthy enough.
This was not an easy decision. I love creating, meeting all of you at events, and being part of this amazing community. But right now, my body is reminding me that healing has to come first.
Thank you for your patience, your understanding. I promise this is just a temporary pause. As soon as I'm back on my feet, I'll be creating again and back at events.
Until then... I'm following doctor's orders, taking my mountain of medications, drinking enough water to float a canoe, and doing everything I can to send this stubborn little stone packing.
Thank you all for sticking with me. I'll be back as soon as I can. ❤️
