Life changing, unexpected occurences in one's life can be devastating! Not only from a physical perspective, but from an emotional level as well. I am yet to discover which is the lesser of the two evils! I chose to face my situation 'head on'. This is not a sympathy blog, nor a blog intended to offend challenged people, but rather an amusing, informative, sharing of the journey I am on.... trying to FIND MY LEGS AGAIN, in London! Come join the fun.

Gotta just lov' em !!
So here I am again, talking and sharing MY experiences again ! Well, I suppose that's what blogging is all about !! However, I do feel somewhat ' self indulgent ', but here's the next one anyway !!
Was woken up by Karol ( fill in live in Jeeves ) this morning, for the normal start to the day. A tedious regime of not again wanting to bore you with the details !! This Jeeve could perhaps be the next long term, forth link to our ongoing saga of completing the chain of care ? Who knows, time will tell. He is a slight guy, Polish, very plesant, slow, but could be trained up to the standards required by my selfish self. He, himself was involved in a chainsaw accident four years ago, and lost three fingers on his left hand. Initially daunting, but I have come to realise that his ability to overcome his adversity is admirable !!! There is nothing he cannot do, and his attitude is remarkable - a good lesson learned, and to see him chopping onions for diner prep etc etc is encouraging !! So at this stage it's not ' the blind lading the blind ' it's the ' cripple leading the challenged '
So, today started with the dentist. The NHS agreed that given my 5 months of mouth cleaning with iodine based liquid, my stained, corroding gnashers needed some attention ! I had a home visit from the dental care specialists, then called into the surgery for a further assessment ! Then today, another assessment by the dentist who is going to put into place the program of fixing the problems !!! Totally, unsuspecting of my humour, acceptance and refusal to accept things, I wheel myself into the small but adequate cubicle where I am to be ' programmed 'for my ' Tom Jones ' smile !!!! My susceptibility to AD, being in a chair, amount of prescribed drugs etc etc all proving a problem...... He wants to talk to my Consultant at Alcatraz first !!! Fair request , from him, agreed....... But he got a bit edgy when I said " anesthetise me, pull the whole lot out for I care, drill new ones into the jaw, porcelain of course, save what you can...... But let's get this shit over and done with asap !! " Do me in the chair, for all I care, but let's get it DONE !!! - he is gobsmacked !!! Cannot understand why I am willing to good order full hog to get it done !! So, bottom line up comes a treatment plan, evolving weeks of visits to the dentil clinic to gradually restore the existing teeth to acceptable standards !! Only after they have consulted with Stanmore. I await the letter for my next summons !! Will keep you all posted !!!
There is Jens B-Day lunch, lunch at the shard, the Charity show etc etc etc to fill you all in on, but have to run now..."..""." All coming soon now !!!
With love
G.
