π Just a little update for all my lovely clients...
Unfortunately, I'm back in hospital as my spinal condition has worsened.
Over the last few weeks I've been diagnosed with multiple serious conditions affecting my lower spine, including degenerative and bulging discs, spondylolisthesis (where one of my vertebrae has slipped forward), spinal stenosis, and compression of the nerves in my spine. My MRI scans have shown significant structural changes in the lower part of my spine, where the discs, joints and vertebrae are no longer working together as they should. The narrowing within my spinal canal and around the nerve openings is placing constant pressure on the nerves, disrupting the signals travelling between my brain and lower body. This has affected my mobility, sensation and bladder function, and has left me in severe pain. It's a complex spinal condition that affects far more than just my back.
I'm currently under the care of the spinal team while they investigate what's changed, manage my pain and decide on the next stage of my treatment.
This has turned my life upside down in ways I never imagined possible, and it's been physically and emotionally exhausting. I never expected to be facing something like this, but for now my focus has to be on getting through each day and hopefully getting the treatment I need.
I want to say a heartfelt thank you to every single one of my amazing clients for your patience, understanding and unwavering support. Your messages, kindness and encouragement have meant more to me than you'll ever know during such a difficult time.
I'll continue to keep everyone updated as soon as I know more. Thank you for sticking by me and supporting my little business while I fight to get back on my feet. β€οΈ
Love,
