Hi friends,
I wanted to share a bit of an update and ask for your prayers.
Over the last while I’ve been dealing with a significant shoulder injury, and after appointments, imaging, and becoming way more familiar with orthopedic terminology than I ever planned to be, surgery is now on the horizon within the next 3–4 months… sooner if possible.
The current plan is a reverse shoulder replacement—which, despite the name, unfortunately does not mean they’ll be turning back time or replacing me with a newer upgraded model.
I’m grateful to finally have a plan, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t feeling a little overwhelmed by it all. There are still a lot of unknowns ahead with surgery, recovery, and figuring out what life may look like on the other side.
I’d really appreciate your prayers—for wisdom for the surgeons and medical team, peace in the waiting, strength for recovery, grace for myself as I learn to slow down for a bit (whatever that even means 😄), and maybe a little patience while I learn to accept help and do things one-handed for a while.
Thank you for caring, praying, and cheering me on. It truly means more than I can say. ❤️
