So this has happened! 😳
Following a car accident recently (in my new car 😭) when someone drove into the back of me whilst I was stationary at some traffic lights, I have ended up with damage to all 7 discs in my neck. I had an MRI this week and the scan shows my neck has been damaged at every level, caused by the trauma of the accident. The pain has extended into my left shoulder, arm, hand and all fingers.
So, the reason for this post is firstly to say thank you to all my brilliant clients who were wonderfully understanding when I had to cancel walks following the accident. Secondly, the biggest thanks to my clients who I have contacted this week to say I need to reduce my workload for a few weeks and I am unable to walk their beloved doggies until I’m better.
I am still walking every day but am trying to do just one walk a day instead of my usual 2, 3 or 4. I have made dogs who are home alone while their owners are at work my priority for the time being, until I can start increasing my workload again. It’s been really hard to have those conversations, I have such an amazing pack of dogs and I am going to miss them all so much for the next few weeks.
All my daycare and boarding bookings are most definitely not affected and me and the family (and Ralph and Dexter) can’t wait to welcome everyone through our door 🥰
Just to add I won’t be wearing this sling whilst out on walks! It’s just when I’m at home in order to rest it 😊
Peace out ❤️
