WOW!! I used to be a show groom way back in the day. That's a lot of wrapping, and so quickly too!! Well done!
I'm glad you are on the mend. I sure hope you are all back to normal and feeling good soon.
@ducks4you how are your knees doing now? About how long does it take you to recover from knee surgery? My husband needs his knees done and we can't get a straight answer on when he can expect to be up and around/back to work.
