Welp, THIS ✋🏼 surgery and recovery has been pure HELL! I'm 7 weeks post opp now (2 week post opp VS NOW hand photos below) and am going crazy not working so yesterday I decided to give it a "try" (even tho the doc says 12 weeks down time)... Yup, I'm hard headed and strong willed so I don't listen all the time 🤷🏼♀️... I'm Definitely in a bit of pain today and it most certainly took me a bit longer to groom than normal but I did it (before and after pics of her groom below)..... I figure maybe in another week or two I can get my ass back to work! Maybe just start slow with only doing 2 dogs a day and work myself slowly back into the 5 or 6 a day I'm accustomed to. This being in the house all day everyday is not good for mental health! I've got serious 😵💫 cabin fever! I'm soooooooo ready to go back to work 🐾
