Almost back to normal

Good Evening All,
I've been reminded by three friends over the weekend that I haven't posted recently so here is the latest.
Following the shock of  the last operation, I've slowly improved, the swelling has reduced and I am back to where I was in July. The mouth has changed shape , all 6 anchors which were on the X- ray on my 20 June blog are now visible, the two front ones being most prominent, and, whilst there are still a few internal stitches left to dissolve, it all looks good . I believe the plan is to create a bridge to attach to the anchors and then insert teeth in the bridge, however, getting the restorative dentist and my consultant together has proved impossible during the Holiday season. We've had 3 cancellations to date and are next scheduled for 19th September.Hopefully, we will all be there on that day and we can discuss the next steps.
Physically ,I'm getting closer to full fitness. The skin graft donor site on my left arm continues to prove troublesome ( it decided to blister this morning ) but I managed a couple of rounds of Golf last week, bedding in my retirement present ( an electric trolley). Trolley was excellent, but the Golf has been better.
I managed my first full game for over a year,umpiring a local Cricket match last weekend.Not too much reaction, but I knew I had done it.  Just two more goals to complete my set.
Aiming to get another weeks Holiday in next week, then back for a hectic week. I like hectic, sitting on my rear end doesn't appeal, I've had my fill of doing not a lot.
I'll update after my next visit to Birmingham.
Very best wishes to all,
Chris
