A Few Order Fulfillment Delays - But It's Only Temporary

On August 20, 2024 I will be having shoulder surgery. Since I am a one-person business, this will have an impact on store operations, although I won't know to what extent until I awaken from anesthesia because the surgeon isn't sure what he will be doing. 

This might be the first of TWO surgeries - OR - the 19th might be it. Fingers crossed!

I DO know that it will be slowing down my jewelry-making ability, as well as my capacity to perform basic tasks like carry boxes around, pack and unpack, etc. I will be in a shoulder immobilizer for about 8 weeks and prohibited from lifting anything at all on that side. 

I am told that total recovery will be about 9 months. However, I will be functional long before that! I will be essentially living at physical therapy. The first 8 weeks and maybe 12 will be the most difficult, while I am in the "straightjacket." 

I will do my best to keep the store open, although it may become necessary to close for a week or two if I am just too impaired to do anything. I have help coming part of two days a week, so I plan to have shipping carrier pickups twice a week - whereas normally it is 5 days a week. The helpers do not MAKE jewelry, but they can assist with packing and such. 

What I ask of you is to bear with me as I will be doing my best to keep things going! I just won't be my usual "Amazon fast."

THANK YOU! ❤️
