I am in charge of the headcount ! hahahaha
Love from Miss Anna
Hello miss Anna. I took a little break from ASAP-M for a while so
that I could get my head refurbished. The old one was a little
damaged! I am still getting used to the new one.
Sorry, that was a bit cryptic. I had oral cancer and so some
surgery. I should be at my one year all clear stage in a couple of
weeks :-)

Wooow I am missing everything here Love your humour Mr Simon ;-)
What kinda surgery ? Can you eat and talk ?
Couple of weeks huh ? That is soon
crossing my fingers here !
Kiss on the "head refurbished" from Miss Anna
Thank you for the kiss ;-)
The cancer was mainly in my tongue so I had about 70% of it removed.
It is quite radical surgery. They have to 'remove' your jaw to do
it. They do put the jaw back afterwards!
I can now speak again though it is hard to do, as in I have to think
about how to speak. It is not second nature. It also takes some
effort on the part of the listener. I have a medication to help me
but I do not use it all the time. It is in the form of a patch that
takes a few hours to start working.
Eating I can do but chewing is very difficult so I am almost going
vegetarian like it or not! Some foods I just can't do or only with
a lot of effort.
It is really just having to learn a new way of living. A bit like
when anxiety disorder hit me and I had to learn a new way of living
then as well. In fact I would say it easier to come to terms with
than anxiety.
Simon
