Moving Forward

 Dates for my surgery have been set, and I'm beginning my process for pre-surgery. I will be having a discectomy and fusion. They've decided to do the 3 affected vertebraes. The 10th will be the last day to get any customs or requests in because following the surgery i will be in recovery for 6-8 weeks and it may take longer for me to be able to do high impact activities like running, jumping and bouncing.  It is my hope that beach balls and balloons will continue in my future, but I can not guarantee anything.  I will be trying to get through my back log of balloons prior to my surgery but with pain levels rising and time being finite my full goals may not be reached but I do want to thank everyone for their continued support. 

I got my second MRI

 My Neurologist wants to do 3 vertebrae in my neck in 4 weeks. Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion for you nerds. I will be out for a minimum of six weeks. Before that I have to have a chest x-ray and an EKG while also submitting to my 9-5 that I will be out for a minimum of six weeks.

Currently doing what I can content wise so hopefully I won't lose that. However, I will have a pretty gnarly scar on my throat/neck which may be "modeling" is no longer in the cards (😅 much like most of 2023-present has been). Due to being away from it and the current economic climate being what it is I'm not really sad about it. 

Of course I'll still be doing content, however I don't know where my balloon and beach ball content will fall over the next few months. Im going to try to film with my complete stock currently in my possession but after that who knows what my body will be up for.  Yes, sure we are hoping for the best however we are planning for the worst (in my universe "worse" is not death. My worst fear has always been what I could live through) Hopefully I'll be back to my 2019 self. 20lbs lighter, no nerve pain and still full of life 😋

My last day for filming will be December 13th so of the is anything you want to see it needs to be in 24hrs prior to the 13th.

Tired & Frustrated

 The last two weeks have been really hard for me. Not only did I lose my 3 Instagram accounts, but they IP blocked me from making a new one. I have also completed four therapy sessions,s two of which were utterly useless. They created barely a ripple in my pain management, mobility, and inflammation. The other two through me into such a deep flare that I literally hit new levels of pain. 

Neck Update

Not a whole lot has been accomplished... 

Neurosurgery

I go in for my first surgical consultation tomorrow. Not my first rodeo but I'm still a bit nervous. In case you weren't following the story on Twitter & TikTok, here's your catch-up.
