I have been out on medical leave and I wanted to update ya’ll on what happened. Thank you for the outpouring of love and support during this uncertain time ♥️
Don’t ever take your health for granted ♥️
Last Thursday I was rushed to the ER for excruciating neck pain and was diagnosed with a “Vertebral Artery Dissection” - which is a life threatening condition involving a tear in one of the four main arteries that supply blood to your brain. This condition often times ends up causing a stroke, or death - but those who survive have a pretty good prognosis for full recovery. 🙌
I am home, and doing well considering. The pain is still intense, but nothing compared to what could’ve happened.
I’ll be on anticoagulant medication for a minimum of three months - which makes this “peach” even EASIER to bruise - so I have to be incredibly careful.
I am forcing myself to take time off of work to heal - and being a couch potato may be the biggest challenge I’ve faced yet - wish me luck 💪
I apologize for being unavailable to those who have attempted to schedule with me, but I am prioritizing my health at this time and will reach out when I am ready to return to work.
