Jacqui at home

AN UPDATE FROM JACQUI // 3 MAY 2023 // I have been spending endless hours on my couch, which I affectionately refer to as my day bed. It has been a difficult journey for me, but thankfully, ACC and my amazing friends, along with my perfect nurse Shane, have been taking great care of me. Despite this, I can’t help but feel the underlying desire to be at work, making my clients look beautiful and spending time with my awesome team. Unfortunately, I still have another month of non-weight bearing on my right leg before I can begin rehabilitation, which… Read More
