A message from Winston… I just wanted to update you personally on my medical journey which has been a tough and long few months. The original operation did not go to plan and left me with severe nerve damage in my arm. I have had 2 further operations to try to get me out of pain and try to allow me to use my arm again but the rehabilitation is going to be long. I will not be back to work for at least 6 months at the earliest. It is a very hard pill to swallow after building my practice up over 21 yrs and having such loyal patients and horse clients. It has been incredibly hard mentally and physically but I am now feeling more positive and trying my hardest to do as much rehab as possible and hope I will be able to return to work.
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has sent there best wishes for my recovery. I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who has continued having there horses treated by Gemma and Matt and been seen by Claire in clinic. This means a lot to me and helps me try and keep the practice running while I am off so thank you to everyone. I also wanted to thank Kate, Gemma, Matt and Claire for doing such a great job at keeping the show running.
I will in the next few weeks try and come out on some of the horse visits and will continue being in clinic with Claire. Please keep up with your appointment as it helps me out and ensures your backs and horses backs are kept on top form!!
Thank you again.
Winston
