Back in March, I had a breast cancer scare. I went through multiple testing and biopsies until at last, in June, I had surgery to remove the mass and be done with it for good. It’s gone, final biopsy, and I don’t have to fret about it anymore.
After my surgery, I just could not get back to my old self. I had zero energy and was in a super depressed state. I stopped going into my sewing room. I stopped cleaning my house. I stopped doing everything. I just couldn’t find the energy to move.
When I went back for my post-op, the doctor was very concerned. My biopsy was benign, and I should’ve been happy about it. But I couldn’t find the energy to smile. Talk about concerning. My coworkers had noticed. The doctor noticed the change in behavior. Truthfully, I had even noticed, but I didn’t have the energy to care.
Finally, I scheduled a visit with my doctor like my surgeon suggested. She did an ECG… and panicked. I was sent directly to the ER, immediately. I was showing those lovely classic signs of a heart attack that women tend to get and overlook.
I now have to go see a cardiologist and of course, have more tests.
Trying to run Etsy and build my website is something that I doubt I would be able to do. Plus, the loss of money from all of Etsy’s fees!
I’m still working a full time job in sales from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and sometimes the occasional 4 hours on a Saturday once or twice a month. In my spare time of a few hours in the evening and on the weekend, my goal is to sew and create products for my website. I promise that things will get figured out eventually, but until then, just know that I am slowly building this up as I go. Just be patient with me.
