Hello everyone, I wanted to take a moment to express how deeply I've missed you all and your precious fur babies 🐾🫶🐾. It's truly an understatement to say that my heart has ached from being away. I'm sure many of you have reached out via text or call, but I haven't been able to respond as I've been on a medical leave of absence from work. It's been a challenging journey, and I've struggled to find the strength to update you all on my condition. Here's what I know for now: my medical team has finally found a medication that has brought me some relief, almost instantly upon taking it. While it doesn't last long and doesn't eliminate the pain entirely, it has helped boost my immune system. Regarding my chronic pain, we explored the option of back injections, and I underwent my first nerve block. Unfortunately, it didn't yield the desired results, and instead, it had a reverse effect due to excessive nerve manipulation. My doctors are still trying to understand why this happened. One of my doctors is optimistic that she's closing in on an official diagnosis, which could potentially explain everything I've been experiencing. If confirmed, it would be a rare genetic condition that affects the immune system, making me more susceptible to complications if left untreated. Blood work is currently being done to narrow down the diagnosis. This journey has been long, arduous, and exhausting, but I remain hopeful. I want you all to know how much I love and appreciate you. Your love and support mean the world to me, and I'm grateful to have you all in my life. Please know, I have been just focusing on my health right now. Dalani, Andi, Ginger, and I are sending our love to you all. Feel free to send me a message here or look me up on my personal account. And lastly, please give your fur babies a kiss from me.🫶 🐾🫶
