Hey Brian
If they bugger you about with the dates just give me a shout and I'll have a go. Got loads a scalpels and blades and the missus is a nurse so handy with the needle and thread. You should be able to glue it up yourself though if you don't mind a swollen face.
Seriously, tell them about your sensitivity issue as they often use glue nowadays. ( that's sensitive as in allergy not your sensitive nature
)
Good luck Brian, I know 2 guys with pacemakers and they think they are brilliant! You'll be ok mate
