6 Week Check Up – What a relief! Started by: Jen

@stephcp @gen87 @lfmills Awww thanks ladies, you’re going to make me cry!! @rylah234 how did your surgery go? How are you feeling? With regards to work I would just suggest you listen to your body and it will tell you when it’s had enough. 9 days is too soon but if you’ve no choice you’ve no choice 🙁 I’ve modified how I’ve lifted etc (glad I work on my own and no one can see me, look like a right moose trying to pick things up haha) and make sure you rest as much as you can when you get home, hope you’re feeling ok xxx

@katvonme Hi Amy, I started off with a milking at day 7 which ivolves holding out the unit out in front of you, and then putting it on the cow – they fidget and kick when you put them on which bangs your arms which ultimately involves your chest so I thought this was a good place to start. After that I eased myself in changing the way i do things. The next day I calved a cow, calf weighing around 7 stone, and went back to shovelling, digging, carrying 25kg bags, throwing bales etc etc etc all day, all just in a different way. Sometimes my boobs feel like they are itching on the inside and I take it to mean that they’ve had enough, but I can’t just go home so they to crack on! They’re tough cookies xxx
