I could use a hand!

I will be absent from this month's After photo session due to hand surgery on 7/14 2016 for carpal tunnel/trigger finger release (thumb, index and middle). I don't know how long it will be before I can get back to pre-surgery strength for upper body work-outs and I am a little depressed about this! I am still training legs/abs twice a week and hope to start back to full body by this coming Monday. I hope that, overall, this will only set me back in training by 30 days or less. While September 10, 2016 was set as the date of my first Figure competition, this will have to be pushed back. In addition, I don't think I can do this without a sponsor(s). Looking to raise $1,000 (for NPC membership, entry fees, tanning at competition, hair/make-up professional and hotel) and would appreciate help spreading the word; will also accept contributions in any dollar amount. If you would like to support me, just leave a comment in the box below and I will contact you.

Hoping for a speedy recovery. Anyone have carpal tunnel recovery stories to share?
