11th September 2013

Happy Birthday Squiddles!!! 

Sorry for the lack of updates, that's been my fault completely. 

So, a quick run down of what's been happening      ..We left Koh Tao on the 4th September, caught a boat to Koh Samui and then flew to Bangkok where we checked into a hotel for a couple of nights as  I had made an appointment at the dentist on the 5th to commence treatment for a couple of teeth implants.  So after several trips to the dentist, having what felt like Edward Scissor Hands, versus the Hulk wrestling in my mouth, I've been looking and feeling like a puffa fish  ...didn't quite realize how much my face would swell up  ...I was slightly shocked when I looked in the mirror the next morning, goodness knows what Si must have thought ...what creature is that lying next to me? .   (had pins drilled into my jaw bone to fix a few implants in)  ..not the nicest of things  ..still taking all sorts of tablets for swelling, infection & beauty (nargh, just made that one up)   ..So back again today to see the dentist to get my temp denture (sounds so attractive) and then after that, a quick visit to the surgeon to see how my screw implants are doing and to see whether or not I need any cementing to reinforce the pins/screw things

 Day 3 ...I'm the one on the left ;-D

Si's been busy, downloading series for me to watch, UK work ..he's been very patient looking after me  ..he's so lovely!!    .....oh yes, in the midst of everything, Matt, who runs Crystal Dive let us use his apartment while we've been here in Bangkok, which has been brilliant.  It has a small kitchen, so we've been able to cook, a lounge, bathroom, bedroom and a great view  ...with not wanting to go out too much, it's been a life saver.  Now that the swelling in my face has gone down, I've ventured down to the pool which has been lovely.

We're both very much looking forward to seeing everyone and catching up on all the news.
