lost my sniffer





back in feb of this year i had a killer sinus and bronchial infection...coming out of it i lost my sense of smell. not just a little but all of it!

then in august, having caught another nasty sinus infection i went to the doctor and complained, once again, of having lost a vital thing..my sniffer.

went for xrays, thought for sure it would be a brain tumor! nope. in fact the doctor was stumped and set about the process of referral to an ear-nose-throat specialist.
today i have confirmation for my appointment- DEC 4 2008!

i have a wee bit of it back- i can smell perfumes. i couldn't smell turkey or pie baking last weekend, or fresh coffee at my house or even a good hit of sewage that wafts through queensboro island at times...

and alas, i am likley not to smell pumpkin seeds baking in the oven come all hallows eve. but if lucky i may be able to by christmas.
