Greetings everyone! I have an update on my neck!
My neck fracture journey continues. My 11 week post injury CT Scan happened last week and the results are in… my fracture failed to heal at all. My neck fracture is still unstable and won’t auto fuse on its own due to the nature of the fracture site, poorer blood supply, and likely my age. What’s next? I met with a Neurosurgeon this morning and it’s been decided that I need surgery to fuse C1-C2 which is scheduled for June 6th. I will remain in my neck brace until then and for 6 weeks post surgery. This is just another turn in a challenging year of healing and the journey continues.
My ability to sew is going to be on hold for a while longer as I prepare for another surgery, but I should be back to work once my neck is healed and stable again. I’m so sorry for the delay and inconvenience and greatly appreciate your patience and support during this difficult time.
