Off soon for my Second knee replacement
« on: August 03, 2016, 07:53:29 pm »
Well of on the 18 th August for my second Knee replacement not looking forward the pain and the handicap with walking again. I have only just got into the swing of things at work after the first opp. The last one kept me out of the van for 6 weeks.  But making plans for my Soft wash delivery unit I will build while off recovering.
I will be finishing my round by the 17 th so  not rest for me.

Bloody hell 25% loss. Did you inform the customers of your circumstance?

Hope all goes well for this one and wish you a speedy recovery

Every customer got a letter on the last clean I did and exactly when to expect me back I only lost one months work but still lost 25% of my customers. It`s because when you are  injured you cannot keep up to date and people are very demanding down South.

75% is still a good retain rate, I was out for almost 6 months and then another 3 months after having a tumour removed from my back and I kept around the same rate as yourself, the thing is I now feel a debt of gratitude to the ones that stuck by me and am reluctant to put their prices up which is well over due, being employed was so much easier. lol.
