I know it has been a very long time since everyone has heard from me. In case you’re all wondering I am still dealing with health issues but have some answers now as to why I’ve deteriorated in the last two years as I have. About a month ago I was hospitalized for 9 days due to suffering a spontaneous cardiac artery tear in my left artery coming off of my heart and I threw a TIA at the same time. While I was in the hospital I suffered 3 more heart attacks. Right now I am very lucky to be alive. But due to the location of the tear bypass surgery is extremely difficult to perform and the doctors are afraid a stent will make the tear worse. This tear can take up to 6 months to heal. So for now I am undergoing cardiac rehabilitation at home and taking things very easy. However with this attack the doctors were able to determine why I suddenly developed blood clots in my leg which have not gone away in 2 years but gotten worse. Turns out I have May Thurner Syndrome which is very rare. My artery is being crushed by another artery and having surgery for a stent is the only way to fix it and to have blood flow back to my leg. Only problem is we have to wait until my heart is strong enough to handle that surgery. I am hoping after my heart heals and the surgery with my leg I can return back to creating wonderful treats for everyone. Unfortunately I do not know when that will be. And I can only take each day as it comes. I appreciate all of you and do miss creating delicious memories for everyone. When I get closer to being able to do treats again, teach or judge at shows I will let you all know. For now do me a favor and enjoy each day with the ones you love. As you never know what will happen in the future. Stay blessed and love you all. 💕
