The Silver Icing

My situation for the past week 😩 Last night I was allowed to start a clear liquid diet. Let me tell you that vegetable broth has never tasted so good 🥣, especially after not having anything to eat or drink for 5 days!

Just a little update for you all...

The past few months have been very hard for me. I have been in constant pain which my Drs believe is caused from one of my tumors. Although my new chemo treatment is shrinking and stabilizing my tumors, my pain increases. The chemo has its own side effects to deal with, too.

I have been putting off the weekly farmers market and limiting custom orders hoping that each adjustment of my pain meds would be the answer to getting back to work. Unfortunately my pain just increases.

Most recently, I underwent a “trial/test” procedure to see if a nerve block could work for me. For the first time in 4-6 months I felt zero pain for about 12 hours. I consider that a success and I hope the Dr agrees. I’m now waiting to see if the full nerve block will be scheduled. If I have the procedure it should give me 3-6 months of pain relief.

I have been working on some new things while I have been away. Upon my return, I plan to have some extra goodies ready to offer in addition to the cookie cakes I recently debuted.

Until the time that my pain is under control, I must stop making cookies. There is no way to know if this will be for just a few more weeks or a few months. The sooner, the better for me as I consider cookies to be great therapy for me.

I hope to be back to decorating cookies soon enough to be able to offer back to school options... I have so many things I want to do, but it can’t be done until the pain is gone.

I miss you all and I will still be engaging with my page. So please keep liking, sharing and commenting!
