In 2019, Shelley Puchalsky tripped over her dog and fell — a simple accident that led to 40 stitches across her forehead.

But days later, the wound became infected, and doctors delivered a terrifying diagnosis: sepsis and osteomyelitis, a serious bone infection. ⚠️🧠

The infection damaged her skull, leaving her facing months of fear, surgeries, and powerful antibiotics. In 2021, doctors performed a critical operation to remove the infection and rebuild her forehead. 🏥✨

Recovery was long and painful — but Shelley’s journey became a story of resilience, healing, and rising after nearly losing everything. 💫
