This is definitely not a post I'd like to make. I get teased all the time for identifying too strongly as a "strong independent woman" however the situation is what it is. My work wife, Nicole, did a beautiful job explaining things in the link.
Basically, I have had an unexpected brain injury in a time of life that was supposed to be magical. It was something I was born with, not my fault, not something that could have been predicted, and not caused by my pregnancy or postpartum phases. I've had two surgeries and been separated from family for over 7 weeks to recover in different hospital settings.
I had planned to return to work in early July, but as we scoot into June I realize that may not be feasible. I continue to try to financially make things work at Practically Perfect Physical Therapy to support the 6 employees and 4 subcontractors we have.
Please don't feel under any obligation to give anything, financially or otherwise, but many people asked how to help specifically and this would alleviate a lot of stress. đź’“
