Moving on, with lots going on!

 Since my last post a lot has happened and adds to the reason for the sporadic posts these days.

Back to 25th September 2025

I saw Prof. winter and Mr Prabhu (maxilla-facial surgeon) and then went on to see Mr Wilson an oral dentist surgeon. They all agreed that further surgery was required to allow the jaw to realign, but also as this movement had caused a number of my lower teeth to die off they would need to be removed.

The first stage is to remove the existing plate, insert a new stronger (bigger) plate to hold the jaw in place to heal and then evaluate the teeth and what needed to be done with them

1st October

Had my follow up MRI - awaiting the latest results of this

9th October

Had the walk through of the surgery plan with Prof. winter and Mr Prabhu, which pretty much agreed as they had told me earlier, with a date set for the 15th October, so have a date and just look forward to getting this done and moving on with recovery and getting to the end of this shitty year and back into the real world.

I felt that I have missed this year completely as your mind is just focused on getting through this and trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel, with this next step I hope that I can see through the trees and can move on 

15th October

So had the call yesterday to be at the hospital for 11:00am, to which we promptly arrive about 15 minutes early, we wait, and wait, get prep'd for surgery, see the anathaetist and wait, finally they come and tell us that the surgery will have to be cancelled to to complications in an ongoing surgery, after 8 hours! its a bit frustrating but understandable, there is not much you can do when someone else is having a complications and absolutely that needs to be the priority, so yes frustrated, disappointed but have been told it will be a week later.

Mr Prabhu calls me when he is out of the surgery at like 19;30 so he has had a long day, and apologises for the cancellation but assures me that I'll be first on the afternoon list on the 23rd October, so I have a week to wait - thats OK 👍
