Please read to the end...
Good evening Ink Pad followers, Darcel here. First I want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been patient with schedule changes, it has been a roller coaster and we appreciate you all so much for your patience and understanding.
Now the hard part. Chris is not doing so great this week. It has been 5 days since she has been able to walk, sit or sleep without severe pain in her back, both spinal and muscular. Many of you may not know that the cancer has been spotted in her spine and has weakened her back. This is scary and exhausting and she is trying so hard not to disappoint all of you. We are hoping that ice/heat, pain meds and muscle relaxers will bring her relief
With that being said, we again ask for your patience as she has to reschedule people this week. Again this is difficult for her as she is facing the end of her career, not on her terms. She is dedicated to finishing out her final months, but that is going to require all of us to be patient. If you are angry, upset, disappointed, know that we are too, but please do not take it out on her. Your tattoo is very important to her, but this is her quality of life and she needs to put that first. Reach out to me if you need to vent.
We will reach out to you if we need to change anything, so please don't fret until you hear from us.
We love you all and look forward to seeing you soon!!!
Meanwhile, Stormy will be helping me take care of his mom.
