I have been out on medical leave and I wanted to update yaβll on what happened. Thank you for the outpouring of love and support during this uncertain time β₯οΈ
Donβt ever take your health for granted β₯οΈ
Last Thursday I was rushed to the ER for excruciating neck pain and was diagnosed with a βVertebral Artery Dissectionβ - 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. π
I am home, and doing well considering. The pain is still intense, but nothing compared to what couldβve happened.
Iβll be on anticoagulant medication for a minimum of three months - which makes this βpeachβ 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 Iβve faced yet - wish me luck πͺ
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.
