    A quick update on my little  "baby" Igor....

    Hes an absolute sweetheart which is a good job cos he is absolutely huge (even tho he thinks hes a lap dog and insists on sitting on your knee or sleeping on top of you in bed)

    Hes around 17 months old now and this pic was taken a month ago xx

    Does he have a brother called Bear.  Because both Igor and bear are the spitting image of each other and I am so jealous

    He does!!! They look so much like each other dont they? We met Bear earlier this year when the breeders held their annual leonberger funday!! Xx

    Thanks Silly. We are logging everything and today I am going to start putting together a letter and list of questions to his ENT. I think it has been made worse by the fact that he has seen various ENT consultants whilst he was in hospital and they have all said different things. I really hope his tinnitus does not become permanent. The pain and deafness he can cope with as he has had that since a child but the constant buzzing and popping and frozen face are depressing him and he is exhausted. Thanks so much for your reply and hope your own recovery goes well. I will post updates on here xxxx

     

    Hi mate, unfortunately these are normal after this type of surgery, and sometimes dosn't go at all. My lad has suffered with this for years and they say theres nothing can be done. Ask to see a different ent consultant if you are not happy with what they are telling you. Sometimes you just need to get the right one to spot something.

    Write a list of all the questions you want answers to and don't leave until they are answered.

    Sometimes the facial nerve can get knocked or bruised during surgery so that should be temporary(if they had damaged it they would have told you).

    Really hope your hubby makes a good recovery.

    Please keep us posted on how you get on

    Crossed fingers that this marks the end for the disease and he can get on with living his life afterwards. His last few years must have been miserable with the level of pain he must have been in.

     

    I hope you're right medusa cos I really don't think he can do it again

    And thankyou for your kind words xx

    Quick update.

    The op went really well, 7 hours of surgery and the lad looks like he's been in a wrestling match with a crocodile but all very neat.he has drains in his head to stop a build up of blood and any infection behind the graft.

    He has been an absolute star, much braver than I ever could be, i am so proud of him.

    Lets hope this stops the bloody disease!!

    Hi SILLY, thank you for your kind words. He is not handling things too well at the minute, but we are all rallying around him, trying to take his mind off it while we wait and hoping this op will be the last one x

    How are you doing?

    Have you had a nice Christmas and new year? Xx

    So here we go again!! :(

    My lads ear has been leaking and infected ever since the mastoid obliteration and lateral temporal bone resection he had last March. There is a hole in the graft and fat that was grafted into the cavity is leaking out. He is in constant pain.

    Numerous antibiotics and procedures to try and seal the graft and bring the infection under control have failed.

    He is now on the list for more major surgery. His Mastoid obliteration with blind sac closure using rotation temporoparietal fascia flap will take Place around March. A much bigger operation than the last one as they will be going over the top of his head and taking living tissue from the other side of his skull to fill the cavity (instead of fat), as it will have its own blood supply, they hope this will be enough to fight off any infection and give the area time to heal.

    We have all got our fingers crossed that this is successful and the final one for him! Xx

    Wow this has brought back some very interesting and colourful memories. Hello, by the way, to anyone who remembers me (I was dick dastardly when I registered initially, changing to my current username a few years later).

     

    I very rarely post on here now, though I occasionally have a crafty read now and then.

     

    You just can't stay away can you? Lol x

    Hi, is there anywhere in south Yorkshire that will remove and buy a hoist which is fitted to a car?

    I have just got a new Car and it has a hoist fitted in the boot. The hoist has was fitted 2 years ago but has never been used. The suppliers say they will remove it for a fee but don't want to buy it.

    Any advice appreciated
