Hello beautiful people, I’m having a total knee replacement on December 22nd that I urgently need due to Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and severe osteoarthritis. I will be out of work for 8 weeks or longer while I recover. The surgery is my best chance to regain mobility and walk without constant knee and leg pain. It's going to be a challenging recovery, so any support—donations, meals, rides to appointments, shares, or words of encouragement—means the world to me. Thank you in advance for supporting me during this vulnerable but hopeful moment. I’m deeply grateful. - Shanalea
