Today is a sad and emotional day of closing my business. I started it in 2012/2013 after not really knowing what to do with my life and I didn't want a 'proper job.'
It started with one or two clients and quickly grew into a full time business, 6 days a week. I have loved every single minute of it! I think my busiest day was 35 horses and 3 dogs to walk with a 4am start and 7pm finish, it was awesome and was a lifestyle more than a job. I have met some incredible people over the last 10 years who have given me the privilege of looking after their wonderful animals! I have felt very lucky πŸ₯°
Unfortunately as much as my mind loves the hard physical exercise, the changeable dartmoor weather, being outdoors and the long hours, my body no longer does! After my injury it cemented it more and I physically can't do the thousands of steps day in and out that I used to.
I have had a career change in the pipeline since summer last year, going into the aesthetics industry! It was a random idea from my amazing mum and I took with both hands and ran with it. I passed my level 3 last year and this year passed the level 4 😁 level 5 is later in October and hoping to smash that one too! It's very different to groom work, infact it couldn't of been more the opposite! But so far I've really enjoyed the training and my plan in future is to set up my own business doing laser treatments, specialising in tattoo removal. I have been offered a job to gain lots of experience from the most loveliest ladies in Newton abbot, I can't wait to start in August 😁

So whilst one door closes, another exciting one opens. Thanks to everyone who have used my services over the years ❀️ its been a pleasure!

Another injury update. Specialist put me down for an mri scan Monday and I had the results today. No operation is needed currently which is great news. Lisfranc ligament is (somehow) intact and my arch looks stable. However the not good news is I have arthritis in my navicular bone. Unsure if it's wear and tear or from the injury but most likely from the injury. Extensive bone bruising throughout the midfoot too. He's unsure why I'm getting pain in certain places so I'm having injections in my medial cuneiform (where I get a lot of pain from and the bone that broke) and then in my navicular to determine which one is the problem. Special shoes and orthotics for the mean time and I'm unfortunately unable to go back to grooming work for at least another 3 months. Been referred to one of the best foot physios too who will help on my recovery journey πŸ™Œ

Injury update - seeing the top foot surgeon on the 31st Jan for probably more scans and whether to go down the surgical route or intense rehab. Still hobbling a lot and not able to do much. Getting really fed up now, not helped by hospital mess ups with referrals to the wrong people! Fingers crossed for some answers at the end of the month 🀞

Thought I should probably update my page!
I'm unfortunately still injured and will most likely need a major foot operation next month to pin/fuse my foot back together. The consultant unfortunately missed it 😭 gutted as the last 3 months recovery was for nothing but thankfully the foot specialist did spot it after looking at my scans this week! Will mean a long journey of recovery ahead and I most likely won't be walking until April if I'm lucky, yard work will likely be further onto my recovery at around May/June. There's always the slight chance they'll try rehab it non operative though πŸ™ will find out on the 4th Jan!
Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and may your 2022 be better than mine πŸ˜‚
