Note from Geoff to "The Workout Warriors"
Michelle
We wouldn’t laugh at you, Geoff, with your missing tooth
I don’t like visiting the dentist either but always thankful and relieved afterwards
Geoff
Thanks, Michelle !! ... but I think Russell would !!
Now have an appointment on Monday to get things started
PS - why hasn't anyone yelled at Sharon for being a Bloody Bully ??
Russell
If you still come to training, Geoff, don’t smile ... we won’t know any difference !!
Sharon
I'm the one who punched Geoff’s teeth out !!
Lots of rain about and the fields will be wet
Will we do an undercover or beach workout today ??
Or do our own thing tonight ??
Geoff
Pissing Rain at Trinity !!
Workout Cancelled !!
Everyone go to Maccas !!

Note from Geoff to Mary Kirk
We have a shitty time coming up on Tuesday
!! - ME - !!
Having all my bottom teeth out and a plate put in
My fault 'cause I didn't look after them properly
With my emphysema and going under an anesthetic, I am really, really scared to death
Here's Hoping !!
Reply from Mary
So sorry to hear that
Big thing to contemplate
I am sure that you are approaching it bravely
I hope Sharon is spoiling you this weekend

NOTES TO / FROM BRETT
Note from Sharon to Brett
On our way home ... still bleeding a bit !!
Reply from Brett
Yuck !! ... Thanks for that !!
Sharon to Brett
Ha Ha !!
Note from Brett
Well done, Dad
Easy as !!
Note from Brett to Sharon
Everything good at home ??
Reply from Sharon
Yes, all good !!
Looks like the bleeding has almost stopped and still no pain at all !!
His teeth have been in all this time
Going to take them out to sleep
And he is having tomato soup for dinner tonight through a straw as per their suggestion !!
Reply from Brett
He’s not supposed to take them out for five days
Reply from Sharon
Dentist said if they move too much, which is very common with lower dentures, to take out to sleep
They may have to be pinned at a later date ... depending on how they settle
Reply from Brett
Hmmmmm ... okay then
Message from Brett on Wednesday
How is everything this morning ??
Reply from Sharon
I am about to get up
Dad has been up for a couple of hours
He had a good night and slept well
Will text you again soon
Reply from Brett
No need ... just asking
Reply from Sharon
I am amazed !! ... he is as fit as a fiddle except for the loose denture plate !!
The dentist is calling us later this morning
PS ... I am going into work at lunch time

Note from Fiona to Sharon
How is Your Man going ??
Reply from Sharon
All went very well !!
His new teeth are in ... still bleeding a bit
There is no pain at all 'cause he is still numb
But we have been told that could change overnight
We were given a prescription for drugs to help with that !!
Note from Sharon to Kerry
Came through it all with flying colours !!
New teeth are in !!
A little bleeding still
No pain at the moment but that should kick in later !!
We have drugs though !!
Reply from Kerry
Fantastic !!
Note from Gavin to Sharon
So, how it go ??
Reply from Sharon
Came through very well !!
Nearly all bleeding has stopped
He has the new dentures in ... they move a bit and may take a while to settle down
No pain at all
But we have been told that the next few days might be a bit rough
We have drugs for that !!
I am amazed how well he has been today !!
Reply from Gavin
That is great news to hear !!
Use the drugs as needed I say
Tell him a "BIG HI" from me !!
Hope you’re all going good otherwise
Reply from Sharon
I will and thanks
Note from Angela Westaway to Sharon
I hope Geoff survived yesterday’s dental ordeal
And is recovering quickly
Big hugs !!
Reply from Geoff
Thanks, Angela ... and it is Geoff writing
Yesterday went perfectly
Twenty minutes in the operating thearre and it was all over !!
I have not had any pain at all, not a single bit !!
Only hassle is that the new dentures are very loose but apparently this is very common with the bottom set
Just have to wait a week or two for them to be reset, moulded, etc
And, yes, I look much better too without all those horrible looking black things in my mouth !!
Thanks for writing !!
Reply from Angela
Oh, I’m so pleased
See, all that stress for nothing and now your even more handsome !!
Note from Gavin
How’s the patient going ??
Reply from Geoff
There are Two Patients here !!
THE - GIRL
Lots of blossom aroung Cairns
Combined with heaps of back-burning
Hay Fever and the poor girl is sneezing a thousand times a day
THE - UGLY - ONE
Lower dentures are a shit ... as you'll read if you look on Google
Having big trouble keeping them in my mouth ... again as per Google
Having hassles eating ... really, it is just very small pieces and then swallow without chewing
Cannot make any adjustments until the gums heal ... and that's going to be a week or ten days
But That Is Life!!
Reply from Gavin
Doesn’t sound good at all, mate ... for either of you !!
Hang in there !!
Note from Kerry to Sharon
How is the patient going ??
Reply from Sharon
Still not a ounce of pain but the denture is loose and doesn’t stay put
And apparently that is very common with lower dentures
We have to wait til it heals then go to the guy who made the dentures to realign and get it settled
A week or two of soft food !!
Reply from Kerry
That's great ... he will have swelling which can change how the denture sits
I will start prep for a "Roast Pork and Cracking Dinner" in near future ... LOL
Ha Ha !!
Note from Mary Kirk
How did the surgery go ??
Happy with the outcome ??
Reply from Sharon
All went well !!
Just have to wait for everything to heal properly and the lower dentures to be fitted properly
Had no bad pain at all to date
So all good !!
Reply from Mary
Wonderful to hear !!
Note from Gail
How did your husband go with his teeth ??
Reply from Sharon
Well, they are out and he survived the operation
But still in a fair bit of pain
He has to wait a week or two for everything to heal
And then get the dentures fitted properly
Soft Foods only for now !!
Note from Kerry to Sharon
Hi, and how's Geoff going with the new teeth ??
Reply from Sharon
We are going to the Denture Technician on Friday for some adjustments
He is in a bit of pain with the dentures in at the moment
And he's getting sick of soft food and soup !!
Reply from Kerry
Okay, and good luck with the adjustments
Mac's is soft food !!
But I guess KFC is not ... unless he likes the mashed potatoes and gravy !!

Note from Geoff to Brett
... and "LOOK" at the photo above !!
Yes !! ... I can now wear both the top and bottom sets
Lots and lots of adjustments were made by the Denture Technician
He explained that they will feel "unusual" for a while
At times there is a tiny bit of pain ... but mostly nothing
Gotta say I am Pretty Damn Happy about this !! !!
Reply from Brett
Good to hear !!
Glad they are finally feeling good
Photo for Facebook, I think !!
Reply from Sharon
Dad says he is too ugly and old for Facebook !!
