Pleased to hear
the good news Kit.
Our youngest son, Gareth (18) had some facial reconstruction in July.
He had his upper jaw broken, scaffolding and screws put in to bring his jaw forward by 1.5 cm. He is as right as ninepence now.
I know it's easy to say "don't worry" Kit, but there are dedicated, professional, skilled and caring people in the NHS.
The pain you are going through will be no less than Clive's pain, just different.
Clive is in good hands, just make sure that you have somebody to look after you because Clive will be more concerned about you than himself.
