Journal entry by Candace Walkup —
I survived my first week back to work and the start of my second. My dizziness caused a little bit of issue but I will get there. I’m thankful to work with such wonderful people who remind me to slow down and give myself grace in this healing process.
Biggest news is that I still have NO pain in my face. So excited about that! Not a lot more to report. I know the healing process takes time (specifically 18 months). I have a follow-up in CA with my surgeon in July. I’m hoping there won’t be anything to report and my dizziness has completely subsided by then.
Twelvish days until Meg and Tanner are home for Christmas! She continues to fight through the extreme nausea even as she moves through the second trimester. I cannot wait to give her a big hug and touch her cute belly! Next Christmas will be so special with a new little one!
Prayers still needed for me, of course. Please also pray for Meg and Tanner’s safe travels, and pray for my neighbor as they are going through an extremely difficult time. ❤️ Thank you!
