Mary


Remember 16 year old Mary? She had surgery to unlocked her jaw nearly a year ago. It was her second surgery to unlock it - the previous surgery failed because she didn't do her exercises. And guess what - nearly a year on, the jaw is beginning to lock again, because she's not doing her exercises. We just had dinner with her, and she was trying to push her fish and chips through a very small opening indeed. Sally is trying to explain to her right now, as they bake Banana Bread together in the Crew Galley, what she must do to avoid her third surgery when the ship eventually returns to Liberia...Olly
