Sorry about what I said on Left Clip - did I scare you off? LOL. You didn't write after I wrote that...it's just that I got so excited that you know the same ward I do! LOL. Is Oliver OK now? Did he have medication before his operation to make him relaxed? I did when I had my first one at 4 months old, but I got so upset and distressed that the nurses had to get special permission to let Mum carry me to theatre in her arms!
Did his lip split after his operation? Por thing! I hope he's OK now.

I'm 17, and I've had 6 driving lessons so far! Who knows - maybe next time I go to the QVH (on July 8th) I may drive myself?! I've got a unilateral cleft lip and palate, and at the next cleft clinic thing I'm going to ask if I can have my palate repaired again because despite a revision in 2003, I still get whatever I drink dripping down it - not very cool in the college refectory! My teeth are kind of OK. I personally don't like them, and am regretting not having a brace on my bottom teeth because they're wonky, but then again, despite having had a train track brace on my top teeth for 4 years and having to have a retainer until at least July, so are my top ones! I had a bone graft when I was 8, and it's the two front teeth which are growing from where the bone graft is which are still wonky. Those two particular teeth are a bit discoloured, yes, and I have an electric toothbrush but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Maybe I'll ask my dentist to professionally clean them next time I go.
Where abouts in Sussex do you live? I really like talking to you, and it would be great to actually meet you and Oliver! I live a few miles away from Hastings.
HI EMMA IM FROM KENT (MEDWAY) AND YES WOULD LOVE TO MEET DO U HAVE A PICTURE OF YOURSELF ,HOW GOOD DO U THINK YOUR REPAIR IS? ARE U SELF CONCIOUS ABOUT IT?OLIVER HAS HAD HIS FIRST TOOTH NOW FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND ITS ON HIS CLEFT SIDE WILL THAT GO WONKEY TOO? OR IS THERE A POSSIBILTITY THAT THEY MAY COME OUT STRAIGHT?ITS STRANGE HOW TEEETH WOULD DISCOLOUR BECAUSE THE ONLY DIFFERENT THING IS THAT THERE IS NO GUM LINE..... SO WHY WOULD TEETH DISCOLOUR HOW STRANGE LOL
TALK SOON TINA
PS GOOD LUCK ON DRIVING I PASSED MINE SECOND TIME ROUND AS I WAS SPEEDING FIRST TIME LOL

I think my repair is quite good. It's not perfect, becauase I've had more operations on my nose so there's a bit of scarring, but I don't think it's too visible. I did get bullied at my old school when people called me 'squashed nose', 'wonky lips' and stuff. I had the operations in 2001 and 2003 just to stop people calling me names, but even though I didn't look too different I still got called names! I'm attaching a photo of myself. Can I see a photo of you?
I'm not sure if Oliver's tooth will be wonky. I guess there's a 50-50 chance.
Lots of love,
Emma xxxxxxxxx
ps. My mum passed her test on her 6th try! She started learning aged 17, and passed aged 29!

Oh, I'm sorry! I forgot to actually attach the photo, didn't I? LOL. It's not the latest photo, but I haven't changed much. It's of me at Cropredy music festival in August 2004. I'm in the tarpaulin because it was raining and it was the only form of shelter I had!
I think Maidstone is a little too far for me to travel. Is there somewhere else we could meet up where neither of us will get hopelessly lost?
hi emma i was going to say we could meet at the hospital its somewhere where we are both familiar with,but i dont go down untill april 11 is this a good idea do u think? how far is the hospital from you?im just about to ty and sort out a photo of myself and will send it straight thru i have some pink hair lol i go a little crazy at times and always fancy a change lol take care

Meeting up at the hospital sounds fine to me. You're right - I am very familiar with it! Are you sure it's OK with you, though? Oli will have just had his operation, won't he? But if you're OK with it, so am I. It'd be cool to see Scott again without being drugged up! LOL.
hi emma thats great finally we chose a destination!! we will be going into hospital on the 11th but he wont have his op untill 12th so we could meet at peanut ward and we can take it from there i could leave my hubie and we could go for a cuppa tea or something i think i got to be there by 12 that day so any time that takes ur fancy will be great take care emma
love tina

How long will Oliver be in hospital for? I just looked at the calendar and the 11th is a Monday. I have college on that day! Is there any way we could meet up at the weekend?
