Year: 2021

My first Maxillofacial appointment. The appointments made recently were all changed and moved forward “owing to staff shortages.” I can’t say I was looking forward to it but I have waited over three years.

Doctor Anna is really lovely, explained it all first and said she would be dealing with a quarter of my mouth. She also said some people had one treatment and chose not to have any more, which was fine by her. So I asked if it was that bad!! She said some people just can’t cope with it . At least she is honest. So, she worked on a quarter of my mouth for an hour. I was numb right up to my eye . I was  dizzy when I stood up when she had finished.

This could only happen to me…in the middle of the treatment the fire alarm went off!! She said to the nurse she wasn’t stopping unless she smelt burning!! They hadn’t been told it was a fire drill but everyone else left the building except us evidently, she carried on regardless. It had been a fire drill!

I started on the pain killers as I know when the injections wear off, it is going to be painful for a while.

Mal went to Dover with me and took Ellie to the park close by so they had fun.

When we went to Sheerness last week, I filled my car up with petrol. Rhys had told me Tesco there was the cheapest but I didn’t know why until Rhys sent me this today! I must say at first I thought it was a joke!

In the evening we watched the football. OK England won but the second half was boring and there could have been more goals.

My grandfather was one of the fallen to be remembered today.

We took Mal’s sisters birthday present over. We stopped at Botany Bay with Ellie as it is close by. We chose not to let her go in the sea  as it is probably still polluted as Southern Water who have been dumping sewage all around this coastline.

After we let her have a play on the sand we went on to the cliff top.

On to Marions and she was waiting with her coat on. Mal asked if she was cold and replied “no we are going to the zoo.” Oh dear, Mal phoned her and told her we would take her birthday present today and take her to the zoo next week! She then got quite upset, not because she wasn’t going out but because she had muddled it all up. She was OK by the time we left and will have the zoo to look forward to next week!

Thought for the Day – “On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, when the guns fell silent , we will remember.”

We walked Ellie over the fields, it was such a warm morning.

I met up with the Red Hatters for lunch at Stonelees Golf club. It was nice to see everyone.

We took Ellie to George V park for a nice walk.

From there I dropped Mal off in Margate to meet Brian and investigate the art classes that I found out about last week. On his return in the afternoon, he was so impressed with the art class. Brian tailors it to each individuals need and Mal had taken some of his drawings in so he could see where he was up to. It also has the benefit of the fact you can go when you want to, unlike KCC courses, if you are away one week, you still have to pay.  Mal was impressed!

We drove to Kearsney Abbey. I love the colours of the trees this time of year. Ellie loves meeting all the other dogs and running in the stream, followed by rolling in the mud!

We went and had a coffee and met a couple with THREE goldies. I told them that was greedy! The lighter one is blind, a beautiful dog who they were told should be put to sleep as they thought it was a neurological problem. Well, she is now 11!! They recommended a dog sitter which we are looking for, for when River and Maddie get married and we will be away for the weekend.

I cooked a roast with Mal’s nero kale, parsnips and broccoli from the allotment. Parsnips always taste sweeter after a frost but we will put up with them being organic and no frost.

A poor Spurs game followed by an excellent Hammers game much to Mal’s delight.

We took Ellie along Rope Walk, bought the paper and then started “catching up” on everything.

We watched the Manchester derby, not good from Man U.

Mal went to the allotment in the afternoon and brought back some Nero Kale and the first of the parsnips. There were a lot of wood chips there, so he barrowed a lot as they disappear quickly.
