First of all, I am now 4 months post-op, and recovery/rehab is still going very well! I am having some testing done in the coming weeks to try to figure out what’s causing the nerve damage to my left leg/where the damage is in order to try to fix it, if it’s fixable. In the meantime, I’m having a custom AFO brace made to help with my gait issues. My leg/lower back pain has improved by about 80% compared to the week before surgery, which is HUGE. I’ve been doing aquatic therapy for the past 3 months, which has helped tremendously.
Secondly, I’m DELIGHTED to announce that I have finally landed a job! I will be working remotely - 100% from home - as a Crisis Counselor for my state’s Suicide & Crisis youthline. (I will be the person who answers the phone when someone calls the helpline.) I’m relieved to be employed again and so, SO excited about this opportunity! This job is absolutely ideal for me right now - for a number of reasons - and it was more than worth the wait (and the super intense interview process… seriously, PHEW). Training starts in mid-July.
Last, but not least: because I won’t start getting paychecks until August, I will need financial help - approximately $800 - to get through July. If y'all can share, I’d REALLY appreciate it!
Thank you SO MUCH to all of you who have unfailingly supported me throughout this difficult process. We’re nearly there! 💛🙏🏻
Phoebe and I are FULLY FUNDED and financially stable until my first paycheck comes through in August. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for the outpouring of support over the past 6 months; words cannot express how much this community means to me. Much love! 💛
