RIP CAMBA

It’s with a sad a heart that Camba’s dad just broke the news to me that his beautiful boy had succumbed to mouth cancer and they had to let him go. CAMBA was an absolute gentleman to groom and bath.

He was probably around twelve years old and a mix of Jack Russell/Foxie and was adopted many years ago from Jack Russell Rescue. I first started grooming him in September 2023 and did my last one about a week before my shoulder surgery. His dad loved him so much, you could hear it in his voice and feel his emotions when he spoke about him. CAMBA will be missed and never forgotten.

DOGAWASH TURNS 11 TODAY

Usually I celebrate Dogawash’s birthday by doing a birthday hamper draw but this year that’s a bit hard to do when I’ve been off work for three months with shoulder surgery. All going well I’ll be back to work at Christmas. My shoulder is not perfect but has come a long way with Physio and the sessions I exercise at the pool. Here are a few memories of past winners

HYDROTHERAPY

So yesterday I had my first hydrotherapy session at my local heated pool with my physiotherapist to help strengthen my shoulder. I found it quite enjoyable and helpful. Most of the exercises were pretty straightforward, but sometimes I struggled with buoyancy as to get my balance. Some exercises we used a noodle or aquatic dumbbells, whilst others it was a series of exercises. Next week I’ll have another session before returning to normal physio sessions but I do plan to go back to pool on my own and practice some of these exercises

Maybe not Oprah’s best groom but it was so needed! My priorities were a hygiene and nails, with some tidying up along the way. Usually a five minute job, but when you’re recovering from shoulder surgery it’s not so easy. Let’s hope my hydrotherapy appointment will help

SHOULDER UPDATE

Well it’s been eight weeks since surgery and Oprah is really lapping up all the attention and taking advantage of my lap. A big thanks for all your messages and extra big thanks and appreciation to clients who have taken me shopping to physio appointments and those who have dropped off food and treats to me.

Had my second physio yesterday and gained a bit more use of my arm, still a long way to go and I’ll be glad when I have no more pain. Next week is a massage session there and the following week we do hydro therapy at the pool. This week had a couple of firsts; finally the sling is off but that doesn’t mean I can pick up anything and everything as shoulder has a long way to go and today I drove my car for first time, just to Corrimal and back. My right arm can only play a supporting role, but it’s important I get use to driving short distances and not overdo it.

So today Oprah and I am taking it easy in front of tv where it’s warmer then outside

FIRST PHYSIO SESSION FOR SHOULDER!!!

Had my first session today and was expecting some type of pain; let’s just say I wasn’t surprised when it happened. The gentler exercises weren’t too bad; laying on my back lifting something like a broom handle was another story.I got to my fifth lift when my arm went into severe spasms from lack of use. My eyes were full of tears and I cried out and the physio helped me get up. I now have to practice these additional exercises each day to strengthen arm. Over the next couple of weeks we are hoping to remove sling completely, however, won’t be able to drive until I have better movement and freedom. Get to do it all again next week

SHOULDER UPDATE

Been two weeks since surgery, somethings getting easier but not everything. Trying to do walks each day along with my shoulder exercises.

Had specialist appointment yesterday; he was pleased with the surgery and explained it was a bigger job then expected. Made me wonder how I groomed with it

Outcome is I’ll be off six months and back around Christmas. Hopefully by then I’ll feel confident to groom
