Nurse With A Mixer

Health & Business Update:

I wanted to give everyone an update on what’s been going on.

Over the past month, I’ve been dealing with significant pain in my neck, shoulder, left arm, and hand. Yesterday morning, I ended up in the ER where I had an MRI. The results showed a large disc extrusion in my cervical spine. Unlike a disc bulge, where the outer wall of the disc is stretched but remains intact, an extrusion means the outer wall has torn and disc material has pushed through. The material is still attached to the disc but has broken free from its normal position, causing pressure on nearby nerves.

I have been referred to Neurosurgery and am scheduled for a consultation on July 6th to discuss treatment options and next steps.

Unfortunately, this means Nurse with a Mixer will be on hold longer than I had originally anticipated. As much as I miss baking and serving my customers, my focus right now needs to be on healing and getting my health back on track.

I truly appreciate everyone’s patience, understanding, and support during this time. Your kind messages, prayers, and well wishes have meant so much to me. I will continue to provide updates as I learn more and will let everyone know when I am able to return to baking.

Thank you for sticking with me through this unexpected chapter. ❤️

6/15/26 Doctor ordered an MRI. Now waiting for insurance to authorize it so it can get scheduled. 😩
❤️ A little life update from Nurse with a Mixer ❤️

I am currently temporarily closed due to an injury and wanted to keep everyone updated. For the past month, I have been dealing with left shoulder blade pain, and a few weeks ago I started experiencing tingling down my arm and into my pinky finger.

I have been working with my chiropractor and massage therapist over the past couple of weeks, but unfortunately, I have had minimal improvement. After seeing them both again today, they recommended that I follow up with my primary care provider for further evaluation, including possible X-rays and an MRI. They believe it could be a pinched nerve in my neck or possibly another injury that needs further investigation.

I’m not exactly sure what caused it (I’m just going to blame getting older 😉), but I’m hoping to get some answers and a plan for recovery soon.

I have reached out to those with existing orders, and I have also added a temporary closure notice to my website. Thank you all for your patience, understanding, and continued support of my small business. ❤️

I will keep you updated as I know more. I appreciate all of you more than you know!

It’s not completed yet but here is my latest cake. Tried a something new - a marble effect.
What do ya think?

Here is my most recent cake. I learned a valuable lesson, that I need to put fondant on the back of the edible images to prevent it from bubbling up. This is the first time it has happened but it may have to do with the warm weather.
If you need a cake or any other treat for an upcoming event, please reach out to me 😊

Update SOLD.
Anyone local to me that needs a birthday 🎂 cake for a girl? It’s an 8” 3-layer strawberry cake with strawberry filling and vanilla buttercream. The strawberry filling bled into the frosting so it’s got pink on it. It’s available for $25 (normally $50). I was making a cake for a guy (don’t think he wants a pink cake lol) so I am remaking it but wanted to see if anyone is interested in the above. Contact me if interested 701-238-5806.
I will post the actual picture later. Just used this image for attention 😊
