So that's why giraffes have long necks.
No wonder they always look serenely happy.
(Hope everything is ok Dot)

Haven't got any of them left after a teacher in high school decided to wash my pencilled ones off with SOLVOL

(mind you the pencilled ones were rather like Mr Menzies
Any other places you might like to suggest??

OK you motley mob loosen up... Saw the head and neck specialist today and what a surprise, he spoke perfect English

Anyway news not too good but hey shite happens and I am letting you all know, all will be ok in a few mths time (I hope) He started by saying the biopsy results were worse than they thought so now I have CT next Monday, then on the 4th Nov I have roughly 1/3 of the bad ol tongue cut off and a skin graft from my forearm is stitched onto the remaining tongue

(hopefully the smooth side and not the hairy side) I shall have the left side of my neck opened widely to examine all the nodes to see if there is anything nasty in there and also a smaller cut on the right side to look at those nodes. I shall have a tracheostomy (breathing tube into my windpipe through my neck) plus a feeding tube up my nose. Oh joy

More scans to see if we need to proceed with other stuff like radiotherapy and /or chemo. Shall be in hosp between 10 - 14 days and an awful lot of speech therapy, hope I can still say my favourite words

twat being one of them and the other is ....... you lot know what it is without me saying it:) Poor George is gobsmacked but he will be good as long as there is food in the freezer

Got a laugh from the guy anyway, I asked him about removing these stitches from last week and he replied "leave them for another 3 days or so " but I replied "oh leave them there and you cut them out in 2 weeks time" he thought that was funny

So there you have it in a big nut shell. I see quite a few writing pads being used and a lot of bird gestures.
