A Return to Hospital
8 September 2023
As if having cancer and her face sliced open wasn't enough for Krista and our family to deal with, this past week she has been a patient of the Women's Surgical Unit, getting some help for yet another complication!
Thankfully being in Palmy hospital means we can take the kids up to visit, but morale is down a wee bit for them all. After being so thrilled to have Krista back home again, this setback has been quite disheartening, and everyone is missing each other.
In some slightly more positive news: Krista has been working on her shoulder physio, and has regained some of her range of motion! There is still pain if she lifts a bit too high or moves it too quickly, but she was thrilled to show off her "new trick" when I brought her up some fresh PJs this morning.
We want to thank everyone for their generous donations and continued support/well wishes, we have been blown away by the first big wave of contributions!!
We do still have months and months of medical and hospital visits and their related costs ahead of us, and while UCOL has some wonderful supports in place for their staff in situations like these, Krista will very soon be out of her extra sick leave.
Any extra support we can get from our friends, family, and community will be gratefully received, so please do continue to share the link around even if you're not in a position to donate
