Helping Deanna Taylor-Connors
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Brooke Taylor. A few friends and myself would like to reach out to help my mom.
My mother, Deanna Taylor-Connors has been through a lot this past year. In may 2022, she took a bad fall that resulted in surgery on her left wrist that left her unable to work for over 6 months with no income due to her owning her own business as a registered Massage Therapist. She was finally able to begin easing back to a somewhat regular routine, until she suddenly got weak. Over the next couple of months, she got weaker instead of stronger. After having a carotid Doppler test in February they discovered a calcified obstruction taking over majority of her carotid artery. She just had major surgery on Monday March 13th, and it had to be open surgery based on the size of the rock they took out. Chronic Stress is a major risk factor in this case. They did get it all which I am over the moon about, however her post op app is in 6 weeks, and she won’t know until then a time frame for when she’d be able to safely return to work. She’s already been threw the emotional, and financial stress of trying to float herself for the year previous, I am reaching out to anyone and everyone, even if you could just give this post a share I would appreciate it more than anyone could ever know. Thank you for your time!!
