Hi all,
Wishing you a great month. As some of you may know Dr Kylie had a horseriding accident recently, and sadly has been out of veterinary action for the last week. She's chomping at the bit to be back, and has a meeting with her surgeon next Friday. She'll be working with her surgeon and workcover to be back on deck as soon as possible. Knowing Kylie, we imagine she'll be back in the game very soon. We're expecting shell be able to perform some duties and will keep you in the loop after her appointment. We were planning to let you know after her meeting next week but due to receiving calls of concern we thought it best that everyone know earlier. In the meantime we appreciate everyone's continued patience as Dr Dave has consequently been flat-strap, and we are very thankful to have such understanding clients when he has required flexibility in appointments.
