  I regret your injuries.  Good save, by the way.
 Same here -- we dry and groom on the floor.  Tatiana is unpredictable.  If she hears something, she would take a flying leap off the counter to check it out.  She thinks she can fly.
 
 When it comes to grooming her legs and underside, I put her on her back on my thighs (I sit on the floor with my legs together straight out).  She knows to hold still as I trim her legs and belly.  This is the same way I dry her underside with a hair dryer.  It's also the same way I put on her shoes (when I take her out for walks).  She knows to hold still on her back on my thighs as I work on her.
