📣 Life Update: Upcoming Surgeries and Facing Fears For most patients with a tracheostomy, regular trache changes are a routine outpatient procedure. But for me, it’s a completely different story. Because my left lung no longer functions and the risk of coding is so high, I can only have my trache changed under anesthesia in the OR. Typically, I undergo this surgery every year or so, but it’s been since July 2023 that my trache hasn’t been replaced. On top of that, I’m dealing with a protruding metal rod in my right arm that’s nearly breaking through my skin. It’s a painful reminder that I need orthopedic surgery as soon as possible, and I’m currently waiting on my referral to see a new orthopedic surgeon. Thankfully, my head and neck surgeon, Dr. Paul Kedeshian, has decided to combine the trache change with the orthopedic procedure, killing two birds with one stone. While it’s reassuring to tackle both issues at once, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared. This will be my first surgery without my mom, my ultimate source of strength and moral support. Not having her around feels like a huge void, and it’s hard not to feel hesitant about what’s ahead. But I know she would want me to face these challenges head-on, just like she always taught me. I’m praying everything goes smoothly because I have so many projects in the works, and I want to keep pushing forward—not just for myself, but for Mama Bonezz. Even after she’s gone, I’m determined to keep making her proud. Thank you to everyone who continues to support me on this journey. Your love and encouragement mean everything. 💜
