Helping Stephanie’s Recovery

Update regarding Stephanie. While her previous back surgery in October was a success, it did not provide the ultimate solution, or lasting relief. Her pain has returned, on the other side of the spine, and while she will require another surgery, this time it will require a fusion of a few vertebrae. Stephanie currently cannot work as a Massage Therapist due to the severity of the bone-on-bone issues in her spine. We expect that she will have surgery within the next 2-3 weeks and are praying that is the case. At this time, we are still waiting on paperwork before we can get everything officially scheduled. Post-op, we expect that she will be out of work for approximately 2 to 3 months to heal and get through PT. We will let everyone know how she is doing in recovery, and as she is ready, she will be slowly adding people back to the schedule. Keep in mind that her doctor has ordered her to start with light to medium pressure upon return and build her strength back over time. As many of you could assume, this time is going to be challenging for our family and business. We are so grateful for all the love, prayers, and support already being shown to us. Some clients have asked if they could help in any way - Please know there is absolutely no pressure at all. Your continued support, loyalty, and thoughtfulness already mean the world to us - we do not take your love and generosity for granted! Keeping it very simple, the following would be greatly appreciated: • Most importantly, your prayers, encouragement, and kindness • Purchase a gift certificate for future appointments, no matter with whom, from us @yugensalon • Buying haircare and retail products from us @yugensalon (everything will be 20% off) • Instacart or grocery gift cards to help with food and home needs while Stephanie recovers • Arrange to come over and help around the house with chores such as laundry, vacuuming, dusting, etc • Arrange to bring us a meal Thank you for helping us through so many difficult times and for standing by us during this one as well. Stephanie is determined to get through this and return to work. We appreciate you more than you know. ❤️
