Help Lauren Overcome Her Biggest Challenge

I’m asking for help. Something I don’t do often for me personally.

Looking for all the prayers and good vibes available in the world to be sent my direction over the next several weeks. I am scared and not ready to go.

This is the most out-of-control I’ve ever felt. And if you know me, that’s a tough case for me. I’m known best for being strong and in control of things. I cannot control what is happening now.

At 41 years old I’m finally happy with all aspects of my life. I love my “job” - hard to even call it that. My clients are so important to me. I have a partner who means the world to me and have been so unbelievably happy since meeting him. My friends and family are always there for me and I for them - no questions. And my dogs… my heart beats for supporting and advocating for them. The ones I own, all fosters who have walked through my doors and each boarder that stays with me - I am happy to be their voices.

In about 24 hours I’m going to be undergoing the scariest surgery I’ve ever personally encountered. I trust the team who is supporting me completely, but I am scared.

There is a tumor on my left temporal lobe. It explains some of the things I’ve been going thru for at least the past month. I am proud of myself for knowing something was off and seeking answers. I am mad that ascension had to encounter an awful breach just a day after my scans. I am mad I didn’t get my results for nearly a week after the test. I am thankful for my dr finally getting said results and referring me to the best possible place, with the best possible doctors before even calling me. I am scared because of the test results, the not knowing what this is, what my future holds. To top that all off, I’m at a place that my lovely health insurance doesn’t even “cover”.

There has been so much going on in such a short time. My head is spinning. That’s really all I have for now. I’m just asking for all the good vibes and prayers you can offer. Know that every single one of them is appreciated by me and I plan to do my very best to get thru this.

I thank you for sending these prayers and vibes in any way you can❤️
