Hi Souffle!
Thank you so much for your reply, I thought I'd jump on and give an update on Ted just in case anyone was curious! He's just come back from his appointment and has had the all clear on his old war wounds once again and the patch on his underside is nothing to worry about!
The only thing of note was that Ted seems to have diabetes, but this isn't my first rodeo with that so not a lot of adjustments to make to hopefully get him back on track (not sure how to tell him he can't have the last 6 days of his advent calendar though)!
