Due to some not so Good Mri results re my shoulder and back iv had to take a look on my health and work. At present im continuing to work the best I can, sometimes with help. Im very greatful to the customers that all ready know and have helped with any lifting. Im trying my best to continue while having treatment and physio and see ultimately where this leaves me. Hoping to improve as will be having some injections to help with pain! Grooming for 15 years definitely causes back issues. At present iv made a few changes!
I Will not be taking on anymore customers at present.Apart from the big dogs iv got, I won't be taking on anymore big dogs. I won't be able to continue with home grooming at the houses where I have to park miles down the road or flats where ill be carrying equipment up several floors.
It is massively important to me that I keep all the customers which I already have rather than take on more and that im not exerting myself. So rather than doing 4/5 dogs a day 5 to 6 days a week ill be doing less and spreading it out more, so please book a head!
My general health is rubbish always has been, iv had several operations in the last 4 years and fighting auto immune diseases is not fun!
But I don't give in!
Although people say i need to think of myself, im well aware that with my home grooms, i service those house holds that have elderly, disabled owners that cannot get out and dogs that have disabilities, behaviour issues etc. I do not want to let those down.
Its important for them and my own sake that I continue and to be honest, I love all the chats and banter with you all that goes with the job. It keeps you going 😊
So just wanted to update my situation with everyone x
