Thank you all for your lovely messages. They are much appreciated. Had consultation appointment in Raigmore yesterday. The consultant went over what had been done with my shoulder and what happens next. Unfortunately ,he informed me that I was unlikely to be ready to return to work before September. This means I need to postpone all my appointments up till then. I realise that my clients will have to try to get another groomer until I can return. Claire operates her own business from Best Friends Grooming in Tain and may be able to fit some appointments into her workload. Please contact her directly to try to arrange an appointment with her . I will keep posting with any other news as it happens Thank you all for your understanding xx

Little update on progress of shoulder! Currently on passive physio , manually moving the joint. Should start strengthening exercises in the next 2 weeks. Unfortunately, the progress is very slow and return to work is further away than I’d hoped . We are now looking to be to work by end of May, beginning of June . All depending on what the physiotherapist and the consultant advise me to do. Again, many apologies to all !
