Things are finally starting to improve....Dad's scar is virtually invisible ,the surgeon has done an amazing job and you really cannot see a scar at all .It's healed so well, and the little infection looks to have cleared up after a course of anti biotics.Dafs jaw still aches like hell and he's still in some pain but that could take a while to improve,and the numbness hasn't eased off any....but he's looking better and starting to feel stronger.
Id a shit day yesterday ,I just sat and wallowed and pondered and had a cry and then dealt guilty because there's sod all up with me so what on earth am I crying for....but some days you just have to embrace the doom and get it out of you're system.
Mum says they just want to start getting back to some sort of normal,at least till the next round of treatment starts....that's if more treatments needed or even offered....I hope that the ent team will just say you're fine no more treatment,crack on and we'll keep an eye on you every few months....So I'm trying not to fuss around them as much and stop checking they're ok....they value they're independence so me fuss potting will do their heads in....so I'll step back till needed....I will go on the 15 June though.....
My husband gets his gall bladder out on the 12 June,six months on a waiting list so I hope the op isn't cancelled....just want ,as I put it,this shit done with.....
