Ah the infamous train journey post; one of the few times in my life I have cried.

Julie I loved that poem then and even more now

Who would have thought back then in 2014 that in 2017 we would still be riding that train you sitting there with your pink fondant fancies and me staring at all the ticket windows thinking bugger that your can stick your treatment 😀

Would be nice once in a while to just step off and have a bit of our old life's back

Love to you all

Thank you C for resurrecting my train journey post what a star ⭐️
Si I know how far we have come from those first early days and WoW you are doing so well as my dear old dad would have said ! Keep going my son ! Keep going!❤

So here we are on the eve of the teeth op, soups , yogurts, smoothies , jellies are stocked up we don't know how many teeth they will be able to extract . He has got to be there at 8.30 in the morning .
The plan is to only take as many teeth as they have to because of the healing issues and then to file down the bone growth . What a clucker this disease is Trevor has fought so hard and then to face this , it's just a double whammy.

He is petrified and I would be as well I have tried to offer reassurance but he doesn't want to talk about it he is to scared, . The procedure will be done under a local anaesthetic .

Thinking of you and Trevor more so than normal today
I know Trevor will be very apprehensive but he will be far more comfortable soon, the mouth is a very fast healer. Here's hoping he will soon be woofing down tumeric laden goodies and putting some of the lost weight back on.

I'm up in the lakes walking for a few days now but will catch up when I get home.
All my love as always

Hope all goes well. You say Trevor is scared, I think I would pass out from petrifaction, hate the dentists even just a check up. Will be sending good thoughts all day (as allways😀)

Hi Julie,

So sorry to hear what Trevor is going through. It's awful. I hope it goes as well as it can and Trevor is ok.
Always thinking of you both even if I don't post as much as I used to.

Take care.

Ok so he is home and in bed resting he has had soups / warm hot chocolate and oodles of TLC oh and rice pudding with custard.
So they removed 3 teeth ( this is going to be a very long and ongoing process) it was difficult to remove the teeth because of the bone growing around them the bone was gripping the teeth and apparently the new bone growth splinters if not done carefully. The bone growth had grown considerably since his last visit . Look away now if you are squeamish they then had to file the bone down . I can't imagine it !
He then had a huge blood loss because of his blood thinners for his heart, trousers and coat covered .
Next appointment to do it all again is in two weeks . Depending on how well the healing goes.
He has had a lump in his jaw for a while probably the size of a large marble that we and his dentist put down to the abscess but today they / they being head neck and throat department ( I am sure they have an Ology but I haven't got to grips with it yet) want an MRI done .

So after all of the drama I would like to add a little song.
My Guy.
I won't do all of the versus because hey I've got soups to make / children to sort / dogs to get to bed/ and a new venture on its way.🤗

So My Guy ( feel free to sing along )

Nothing you could say could tear me away from My Guy
Nothing you could do'cause I'm stuck likeglue to my Guy
I'm sticking to my man like a stamp to a letter
Like birds of a feather we stick together
I'm telling you from the start I can't be torn apart from My Guy.

As a matter of opinion I think he's tops
My opinion is he's cream of the crop
He's my Guy

As Brian says, "stay strong", and keep up the singing, 'My Guy' is very appropriate for how you are coping.

You're still very much on our minds, thoughts and prayers.

As ever you manage to make me smile and cry all at the same time Julie. Thanks so much for the update. All bits crossed for you both.

And here's one that was clearly written especially for you...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhkwRBGZEN4

I'm a Woman W.O.M.A.N.

I can wash out forty four pairs of socks and have 'em hangin' out on the line
I can starch and iron two dozens shirts 'fore you can count from one to nine
I can scoop up a great big dipper full of lard from the drippin's can
Throw it in the skillet, go out and do my shopping, be back before it melts in the pan
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again

I can rub and scrub til this old house is shinin' like a dime
Feed the baby, grease the car, and powder my face at the same time
Get all dressed up, go out and swing 'til four A.M. and then
Lay down at five, jump up at six, and start all over again
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again

If you come to me sickly you know I'm gonna make you well
If you come to me all hexed up you know I'm gonna break the spell
If you come to me hungry you know I'm gonna fill you full of grits
If it's lovin' you're likin, I'll kiss you and give you the shiverin' fits
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again

I got a twenty dollar gold piece says there ain't nothing I can't do
I can make a dress out of a feed bag and I can make a man out of you

'Cause I'm a woman! A W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, and that's all.
