Hey everyone, update!!

It’s with a heavy heart and a lot of time thinking that I’m unable to return back to work this year! This he has broken me!
Healing has been difficult the operation was massive and it’s been extremely difficult,
And unfortunately I’m having to return back due to needing scar revision surgery
I won’t be getting these surgery dates untill next month when I’m officially 6 months out and scars have soften !!

It breaks my heart that this has to happen as I miss all of you soooo much! The last 6 months have challenging mentally and physically!

Once I get a date next month I’ll know more on where I am and what’s going to happen I may even be able to do the odd few dogs before I leave for surgery again !

The operation it’s self went really well and I had over a stone and half of skin removed from losing 8 stone , it was no easy op, muscle repair was hard as the stitched the abdomen wall back together but they looked after me amazing, and the care was brilliant as well as Harrison nursing me back to health !! Iv had some great support from friends and I thank them all and to all the clients that send me well wishes and check in thank you!!!!

I didnt expect to have to go back but unfortunately the scar tissue needs removing as they are very large lumps under the Incisions! This has impacted on my mental health extremely it’s been extremely difficult

Iv just manged to starting walking again with my own dogs !!

I do hope you all understand that for the moment it saves being messed about without rebooks!!!
But will know more next month on what the plan is

I do miss you all ###

❤️❤️❤️

So unfortunately I won’t be returning in may like I had hoped, due to a Incision not healing to well!!
No infections as of yet but it just won’t stay closed !!
So currently waiting on a scan and some tests and to hear back from the surgeon!

I do miss you all so much, and I hope your all well!!
In may I will do another update !!! Thank you all for your messages and checking in with me !! It means alot!!
Still very stiff, but walking and getting about 100x better!!! Although after being out and about I pay with it from swelling!!!

Hey all, I just wanted to give you all a little update!
It’s been 6 weeks from surgery and the multiple procedures, it’s been extremely hard, harder then I expected! I’m lucky I had my husband with me , Iv cried and cried it’s just been mentally hard as well, seeing all your wounds and scars and the whole body being different, it’s been tough process and still figuring it out!!
but this week I finally manged to get out the house for a coffee!
Iv still have small open wound that is playing up with the healing, but other then that I’m healed surface level and no infections!
I’m still very sore and still very stiff and swell quickly and easily!
But I think I’m winning!!!!

Just wanna say I miss you all and the pups and can’t wait to return !
The surgeon did say with my job not to return before 3 months and then see how I go! So my next post will be about when I’m returning and booking in appointments!!!!!
I hope your all keeping well!! Please give the pups a kiss from me !!! 🐶🐾🐶🐾

Sending so much love to anyone who has ever lost a pet.
It is heartbreaking. They become family members.
If people say “it’s just a pet”, they really don’t understand.
