Yes…. Current mood sad…
I sat at my laptop on Sunday to get on top of some admin, reports and insurances and sifted through all the emails, getting rid of the junk and answering what I could on Sunday
Today, it’s 5am … I’ve already looked and unfortunately we have 11 appointment cancellations already for this week on email and that’s not even me looking at the phone when I get into work today
Please lovely people - I’m pleading… begging - double check your appointments before you get your reminders - very few of these we will be able to fill this week due to being so close to Xmas - and that has SUCH a big impact financially at an already stressful time of year for business owners, let alone the potential that we could have seen a new patient desperately trying to get in or given other people more options for appointment times
We understand things happen but this November/ December has been the ultimate all time high for cancellations
So please 🙏🏻 😘❤️

Yes…. Yes it’s Saturday evening… and I resemble some form of exhausted, teary eyed, disheveled pigeon…
But we’re almost there! 🥰 as most of you know we’ve had A LOT of work going on in the background expanding JCB to meet our patients needs. This week, I had to cancel our holiday to get things (almost) finished.
The building hasn’t been easy - what was a old stable block, then storage unit has been transformed by the amazing Paul Bush his work astounds me every time I see it, his forward planning and pristine look
…and made a lot clearer to me this time round when I’ve spent the week attempting to decorate and paint 😳 if anyone has any comments on cutting in, gloss work or the fact I don’t have an eye for anything to do with how to present things, please come and see me personally - I’ve tried… tried my hardest and put some extortionate hours in… but I’m definitely sticking to animals from now on
This expansion has broken me… mental pressures being the worst - so if I’ve been a bit ‘off’ - I’m ok… and next year is going to be the most amazing year yet for JCB
A huge thanks to all of you for bearing with us, the team for carrying on and working so hard to provide such amazing care as always through dust and noise, my rocks- my parents and the awesome builder Mr Bush 😘 ?

Everyone Meet Howie 👋🏻
As many of you might already know Howie is my dog (Hydro Gemma)
He master of my household and this is his rehabilitation story.......

Howie is a 6 year old cross breed terrier. He was sadly abandoned and brought into the vets at only 8 weeks old with 2 broken legs 😪
I was working as a vet nurse at the time and he stole my heart!

He had a fracture through the femur in his left leg which was repaired straight away with a pin and wire and a small hairline fracture through his right hip, which eventually resulted in a femoral head and neck excision when he was 8 months old, after we realised that sadly his hip joint wasn’t growing correctly. Although both surgeries were successful, Howie had significant muscle wastage, one leg slightly shorter than the other and was reduced to very minimal exercise. He was in constant pain and it broke my heart everyday not knowing how to help him.

Howie is the reason I became a hydrotherapist!!!
After being referred 5 years ago 😲 to my now wonderful boss here at JCB Animal Physio and being blown away by how amazing he was recovering with the physio and hydrotherapy treatment, it peaked my interest and I couldn’t wait to learn more.
Howie has regular treatment now and although I wouldn’t say it’s his favourite thing to do, it’s definitely not his worst 😂
His muscles became stronger and eventually evened out even with a slightly shorter leg.
He lives life to the fullest, mainly running circles around me, he pushes me to my limits but he’s taught me so much. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for him 🐾🧡

I completely and utterly stole this image from another post - but it also rings very true to us!
WE ARE A COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT CENTRE ❤️
And I’m SO proud of it!
It’s been the hardest, most challenging, tiring part of my life building JCB - but above all that - the most rewarding, result giving, best thing I’ve ever done and will ever do!
We’ve now almost finished expansion 6.0…. This only happened because firstly you beautiful people invested in us, our skills and the centre - no profit has ever been taken from JCB - only reinvested into making the centre as good as possible, to offer the biggest range of treatment options under one roof, and to accommodate the influx of patients needing us ❤️
Self employment is hard, it’s almost broken me so many times, but you guys, and the most awesome team of amazing women in the world, keep me (Boss Jem) and JCB going, as well as seeing and hearing the differences that we make ❤️ and loving how many patients come through the doors so excited to see us 🥰
From the bottom of my heart - Thank you everyone ❤️
