As the day for treatment to start gets closer Robin is getting quieter and much calmer.He went for a long session with the dental hygenist this morning and is now at work.The side of his face suddenly swelled up yesterday and now he looks like a hamster with its pouch full.The dentist was not concerned and thought it not unusual although i worry it might affect the fit of his mask.I have taken all your advice on board and i stocked up on perfume and metal free toiletries,zinc supplements,soft tooth brushes, sensodyne toothpaste,alchohol free mouth wash,aloe vera gel and i just have to get washing powder and fabric softner in the eco range that is perfume free.I just cannot find out where to get Carnation Breakfast food in the Uk can anyone advise?This site feels like a life line to me and i am grateful to every one of you who has taken time out of your busy lives to share your experiences with me and offer advice

much love
