Hi Everyone,
I wanted to jump on and let you all know why I haven’t been doing my popup shops at Yamanto.
So last year I developed a skin problem that is caused by my autoimmune disease. I ended up in hospital a few times because of infection and all the medical professionals I saw were just looking at me like I was a too hard puzzle. At the beginning of December I started to develop ulcers on my left leg that progressed to the point in February that they were getting extremely deep and I was getting very scared. It has taken until a week ago for me to see a Dermatologist that actually knew how to help me. At that point I was getting terrified of losing my leg. I’m now on elevated rest and I’m extremely immunocompromised with all the medication they have me on.
At this point these ulcers will take probably about six months for me to get over the worst of it. Once the weather cools down I’m going to slowly try and repot my collection and propagate. I won’t be heading back to popup shops until next year. Once I have a good variety outside for sale I will be taking appointments here at my home nursery.
Please wish me luck and cross your fingers for me that my recovery speeds up. Only 4 out of a million people develop the skin condition I have. The pain is terrible and it’s an absolutely horrible experience. Hopefully within a few months I can put up some videos and take appointments here. Thank you for supporting my passion and my therapy 🩷🌸.
