After being out of action for over six months of our campaign, it finally happened! Airalemayne has been resurrected, he's had his curse removed, and he might be ready to address all his emotional baggage 😭😭😭
I'm so unbelievably excited to be able to play as my man again ✨️

After passing the 6-week mark, the doc replaced my gigantic leg brace with a nylon sleeve. I’m rehabbing on a bike now, and am down to a single crutch… relishing the ability to carry my own tea. 🩼🧋#violetlemay
