Update on my back!
I had my one month appointment and unfortunately my back is still very broken. However, it is healing. Full recovery for my injury is usually around 3 months. BUT! I am having very minimal pain thankfully and she was very happy with my movements and that my left leg is back to normal. With that, she said I can start grooming again. She would like me to not lift over 20 pounds, but said if I'm feeling good and not pushing myself too hard, lifting a little more should not be an issue. As long as I don't go crazy lol!
I do have to go get an MRI for my neck eventually here soon. My mother told the specialist I've had neck pain for a long time, way before my fall and she did a reflex test and didn't like something. So I will be having that checked out. Waiting for there phone call on that.
So, I am going to start getting back into grooming. I am still going to take this slow. I really don't want to go backwards in my healing. I'm not going to pack days completely full and I'm going to give myself breaks. Grooms will also probably take longer than usual. So if you do get scheduled with me, please give me heads up if you have plans you need to make it to so that I can schedule accordingly.
I am going to wait a little longer on large and extra large dogs for right now just to be safe. However I will be scheduled a few larger dogs here and there that I know I physically don't have to lift at all, to see how I feel and how it goes.
Thank you everyone for your patience, prayers and get wells! You've all helped make this unwanted adventure a little easier.
And thank you Emily (Fabulous Fluff Grooming and pet services) for helping take as many of my clients as possible. And for the continued help I know she is gonna be giving me 💜
