Hey everyone ~ just a wee update…
After 10 months in pain from an aggravated assault by four people at Xmas last year, I finally have an appointment for an MRI scan this Thursday.
It’s taken so long literally because my doctor just refused to send any referrals to a back specialist, refused to send me for an MRI, and just kept writing scripts for pain relief that didn’t help. She also told me ACC wouldn’t pay for the MRI.
I got a call from radiology this morning and they said ACC is covering it.
Also, it took four years to give me the results of an Xray of my neck - which is bending the wrong way. Four years… what were they thinking? I got the results 2 days ago while seeing a musculoskeletal specialist.
So because they didn’t tell me, my condition has probably worsened due to zero treatment.
I now have to wear a neck brace every day for the next 6 months to a year, especially while working.
After two days in a neck brace I am actually getting some relief! 🥲
This is why I haven’t been as active this year. Just 24/7 pain.
It’s one thing to create, but trying to do a photoshoot for my website with back, neck, shoulder and wrist injuries has been super tough - and I admit, I am dreading the thought of having to do it, let alone actually doing the shoot. Omg.
But I am still here! I’m not giving up. Just feeling a little crippled this year, but at least NOW I am FINALLY on the road to recovery ❤️🩹 it’s been such a long and painful wait.
Thank you all for your support and for still being here too!
And to those of you who still interact by liking and commenting on my work it means the world to me. I am so grateful for people to see and buy my work even though I am not 100%, and have a bit of a healing journey ahead 🥰🙏
Thank you! Much love ❤️
