Medical drama

Wow. So to make a very long story short, after 6 months of dealing with pain in my thigh from a "strained quad", I finally went for an MRI, the results of which had me sent directly to the hospital. I somehow acquired a staph infection in my femur (which actually isn't all that uncommon, though it sounds utterly alien), which required just over a week in the hospital and 3 surgeries.

I'm home now, with IV antibiotics for several weeks, and strict orders to not put weight on my leg for 3 months (imagine how much fun moving around my high ranch is.)

So I'd like to start working again, and open my shop soon. Custom items will be done, just slowly since my mobility isn't great and I'm at the mercy of my (wonderful) family for help.

Thank you to my incredible customers for the well wishes and words of support. Everything should be up and running as normally as possible, very soon.

Life gets in the way

I've been incredibly busy recently, and much of it leads to this.

Due to a health issue I need to take some time to address, Duchessa will be temporarily closed.

I look forward to feeling up to re-opening, however I cannot hazard a guess as to when- it would be a few weeks, it could be much more.

Keep your fingers crossed for me.
