Finally: an update for my dear clients.
I’m sincerely apologetic that it has taken me this long to give everyone an update on my health and I greatly appreciate your patience. The past 6 weeks have been a constant barrage of not-so-great news for my family and me, and we have been struggling to absorb all the information given to us. We’ve tried to let as many people know in-person as we can, but if you were missed please forgive us, as we are just doing the best we can right now.
As most of you know, around 7 weeks ago I was admitted to Brookwood with a blockage in my intestine, and it was later discovered that the blockage had been caused by a reoccurrence of the same cancer I had in 2019/2020. Unfortunately it has metastasized to the lining of my abdomen and has encased my digestive tract into a cocoon of cancerous tissue, so surgery and curative actions are not options for me at this time. Which unfortunately does mean that this time, my diagnosis is terminal. We were given a shorter time frame than I’ve already lived, so any question about how much time I have left is completely up in the wind, although I’m trying to find a way to get my scans and test results looked at so I can possibly know and start planning for the holidays, or if I’d just be wasting what time I have left. I was genuinely excited to go home and start grooming again because it’s my passion, but after being home for a week, I don’t believe I’ll have the energy or the steady-ness to safely groom my sweet fur-clients. If you need a referral to a groomer, please pm me and I’ll try to find one for you.
I invite any and everyone who wants to come spend time with me the opportunity, however I wear down quickly these days and my energy isn’t quite what it used to be, so please let me know a few days ahead of time so that our time together isn’t rushed and I’m awake for it (and of course let me know if you’re bringing your fur babies! I’d love to see my groom babies again!) My precious grandmother has moved in with me for the time being to be my primary care giver, and she has been helping me immensely with life right now. Hospice also comes by 3 times a week and they’re doing their best to keep me comfortable. I am blessed to be surrounded with so much support and love during this most difficult time. Please reach out to one of the people tagged in this post or me if you’d like to come visit. We do ask that you be vaccinated and please check your temperature before coming to visit. I don’t want whatever time I have left cut short by a cold or anything along those lines. Also, please be patient with us as we respond to messages and comments. We’re doing the very best we can ❣️
Thank you all for your continued prayers and support. I ask daily for more time to spend with those I love and yalls power of prayer is already working miracles in my life as well as others.
If you’d like to help, I have a wishlist on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3GIT9Q9QYLTYK?ref_=wl_share
And any monetary donations will go towards my utilities while I wait on disability (I’ve got an attorney and all that jazz so it shouldn’t be much longer of a wait.)
