i hope everybody has had a good start for the year so far.
i had mentioned in one of my previous blogs that i got into an accident which unfortunately happened on the morning of the 24th of dec (christmas eve). i slipped & fell hard on the front steps of my apt. building due to thin ice or what they call black ice. i hit my head & lower back and had to be taken to the emergency by ambulance. i have been experiencing excruciating pain due to my lower back injury specially during the 1st week which makes it difficult for me to walk, move or sit every time. my sister & friends had to take care of me for 2 weeks during the holidays. after going back & forth for doctor's visits, my MRI scan showed that i have 2 bulging discs. luckily, no sugery is required but the doctor has prescribed for me a month of physical therapy. oh well... it could have been worse.
so here i am now, just giving you an update of my condition specially for those who have been inquiring about my photography services. there are still days that i feel the pain & there are days that are better. that's just how it's going to be 'til i heal, as my physical therapist said. i started therapy and had already gone back to work in the city last week. i walk with a cane in the city to protect me from the NY rush & pedestrians and to give a little support since i still have been limping on my left leg due to the pain. it's amazing how people can be so much nicer to you when you have a cane & see that you're handicapped. it's a struggle every day but i just take it one day at a time.
anyways, just for your information, i am not accepting any photography jobs for the rest of january due to my current condition except for those who have received gift cards for newborn photo sessions and are due this month. gift cards are still available for purchase that can be great gifts for baby showers & engagements. i will hopefully start accepting jobs for winter photo sessions by next month depending on my condition by then. i will post an update again next month so please just visit my blog for more information. i already have a couple of inquiries for the spring season so please feel free to contact me via email at info@melaniedphotography.com or call me at 917.815.5652 (please just leave a message on my voicemail), if you want to reserve a slot and schedule a photo session. please add me to your email address book so that my reply doesn't go to your spam/trash folder. if you have a facebook account, you can also contact me though my facebook photography page link...click HERE.
i guess that's all for now.... i am just hoping to recover soon!
keep warm and please watch your step specially when there's snow, ice & frigid weather!
...below is a photo that i wanted to post on my blog for the new year... it's the times square NY new year's eve ball :-). let's all hope & wish for a better year this year...
