Just a quick update about my son. My son was diagnosed in April with Mouth and Jaw Cancer. He had surgery Tuesday 29 June and bone and skin were removed from his leg to rebuilt his jaw. Obvious with Covid restrictions no one is allowed to visit, although his wife might be able to go once while he's there. My daughter-in-law has set up a What's App family group including both myself and my husband and other children and grandchildren. Progress so far is slow, but it's early days. Yesterday the nurses got him out of bed and sat him in a chair for a few minutes and today he has managed to send a text to the What's App group to say they have changed his tracheotomy this morning, and are hoping he will be able to speak a little in the next day or so, they are also getting him out of bed again and want him to sit in a chair for 3 hours. It's absolutely wonderful what the surgeons and nurses can do, and we know that our son is in very safe hands. It's just so frustrating that we can't visit. He is liable to be in hospital for about 3 weeks. Then of course radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. For those of you facing similar surgery, be strong and brave, Hang in there, Take care x
That’s good news. I can’t understand this visiting embargo though. I spent five minutes loading my Covid travel passport on my phone. It’s a QR code. Surely if you’re double vaccinated they should let you in.
Whatsapp and Zoom have been life savers during this pandemic ( unless you’re a politician I guess 
)
I hope he improves each day and is back home soon

3 years ago next week when I had my 1st OP
Just pigged out on a kebab from the local chip shop, there was a time I didn't think I would be eating stuff like that again 
Mind you, I still get cravings for a Fortisip
Thank you for the update. Will be thinking about you and your son and sending good wishes your way.
