✨ATTENTION✨ Due to an increase in medical expenses several have asked how they can help. (My insurance no longer covers my physical therapist and my wheelchair is falling apart among other medical things.) As you can imagine, finding this out was devastating. A dear friend of mine set up a link where anyone can donate if you wish to help.
There's a detailed description of what's going on posted on the site. Just copy the link and paste it into your browser. If possible please share the link to your socials. Thank you SO much! ❤️

SO I fractured my femur.. 🤦♀️🦿
STORYTIME- Unfortunately, I fell 2 days ago. I landed on my stump and fractured my femur bone. The Doctor said not only are there micro fractures there's bigger issues with my femur bone and it's a good thing we caught it. The X-rays show I have either osteomyelitis (severe infection needing IV therapy for approximately 6-8 weeks) or necrosis of my femur where a portion has died, again. I have an appointment with my orthopedic surgeon in a couple of days.They will do more tests to find out exactly which condition I have, then we will discuss treatment. It's looking like another surgery is in my near future.
Oddly it's a blessing that I fell because I wouldn't have known that the femur has a major infection or necrosis. (Testing will show which this week.) On the bright side, during the surgery the doctors will be able to remove the nerve tumors (neuromas) when they cut off more of my femur bone. Life is a funny thing. Even in situations like this we can find something positive if we look for it. ❤️🦿💪 That said, I am so sad because I have been walking so well and that is now on pause. If I have surgery which is likely, I will have to start again with a whole new socket made. This breaks my heart truly. But I WILL be okay!
I will keep you posted as soon as I know more. Thank you ALL for your kindness and support. What an unexpected turn. 🤦♀️

Have I ever told you how obsessed I am with flowers? There's SO much beauty to enjoy in life and flowers are something that if I could, I would fill my home with them and live in a garden!
Lately the struggle with pain has been extremely difficult. My husband gave me these beautiful flowers and it's made ALL the difference.
When you are struggling with something hard, balance that difficulty with something good and I can guarantee that even though the hard is still there, your ability to navigate the pain or hard situation will increase!
New video coming soon! Sending love to you all! 🦿❤️🫶

What's up beautiful humans! I hope you are having a FANTASTIC day!
I did a couple of brand photo shoots and I am wondering if you would be interested in seeing how the reels turned out? I can post them as a short and drop the links to the products in the comments if you are interested but absolutely no pressure!
I do a bit of marketing and modeling for brands as a side gig. If that's something you would like me to post, let me know in the comments! If not that's perfectly fine! I started my page to show aspects of my life as an Amputee and this is a little part of it. ❤️
