Good Afternoon to you all and my very best wishes for the festive season and a Happy and Healthy New Year.
I realise that it is a while since my last blog, but I really dont want to bore you with the minutia of what has become an almost normal life. I'm doing everything that everyone else does, with very few exceptions and I'm quite sure that you dont want to know where I've been , who with and what I've been up to, hence the gaps between blogs.
The latest medical news is that the reconstruction of the remainder of the lower jaw and implanted teeth is progressing. There was a minor hiccup in mid- December when my first real implants were fitted. Whilst they were a good fit, the teeth were a perfect colour, but , when I was offered the mirror to gauge my views, I realised that I now know what became of Shergar ( for those of you who are not British, or cannot remember, Shergar was a highly successful racehorse who mysteriously disappeared many years ago )- loses a bit in explanation , but never mind,I guess that everyone now understands why the Dental Consultant agreed with me that a good few millimetres needed to be removed to make a good fit. Dick Emery - eat your heart out!!
A visit just before Christmas to try out the latest version was much better.This version will now be tarted up for a second fitting in mid-January , incidentally the day after my cancer check at Queen Elizabeth s ,Birmingham - so we will stay overnight. Then the final version should be bolted in to place on 31st January. I had to delay that appointment by a week as I'm appearing in the village pantomime during the preceding week and I didn't think the front row would appreciate being sprayed during my various renditions.
Looking forward to 2013.
Very best wishes to you all.
Chris
