Medical leave update! (Sorry for the novel)
Or lack there of, sadly. 😫 although I believe I reached out to everyone personally that was awaiting updates (if I missed you, I apologize) - I also wanted to update publicly as well, as it is my goal to be transparent with all of you throughout this process.
We had another appt today, where I was referred to my current drs, partner. We have another appt 6/26 to meet with her and schedule surgery! He is fairly confident that his partner will have the availability to stick to my tentative timeline of late July/early August. My ultimate goal is to get surgery done the first full week of August. My priority currently is getting my right foot/ankle fixed, and recover fully, and then get the left side done. — I will have more info on a timeline 6/26/26.
💕💕💕 Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the kind, positive, uplifting comments and messages I have received since I initially announced that I will be stepping away during this process! I truly cannot express how grateful I am for all the positively, throughout this, as it is personally beyond stressful to even think through this, because it effects way more than I initially thought it would. I appreciate each and every one of you beyond words! 💕💕💕
Here are the answers I have —
⭐️ August orders — I will not be taking any ADDITIONAL orders for August. If you already have an order placed — I should have already reached out and talked to you!Luckily, I have a lot of support, and can accommodate the current orders, but I do not want to over use my help, as a lot of daily life tasks will fall on them too, and aside from my husband, sister and friends, my biggest helpers are my kiddos. 🩵
⭐️ Cakes during recovery will ultimately be my hardest to complete. Cupcakes, cookies, and dipped desserts, I can do while sitting. However cakes and my uncoordinated self, I don’t think will mesh well - as the angles are awkward. lol! Although I will have a knee scooter, I do not want to push myself too hard or think that I can do more than I should. I need to remind myself to take recovery seriously so that I can get back to life as quickly as possible.
⭐️ September/October orders —
Again, I have reached out to anyone who is currently on the schedule, that were awaiting a personal update — if I missed you, I apologize! Here is where I will start taking on more cakes, however, I will need to keep them smaller and more simple (tentatively). It is my goal, to only do 4”-8” single tier cakes at this point. No multi-tier cakes. And continue with cookies and cupcakes of course.
⭐️ November - end of year —
This is all up in the air. And I will be able to update further after the next appointment and after the first surgery. Right now, my tentative idea, is that it will follow the current plan for the first surgery. No orders for November, I will run specials for Thanksgiving, and then limited orders throughout December. But, I can only assume that the second surgery will ultimately depend on how the first goes along with recovery from the first surgery.
💕💕💕 Again, I cannot personally thank each and every one of you for your continued support and amazing understanding! I appreciate it all to the fullest! 💕💕💕
