Happy New Year.!

Let me start by apologising for lack of posts, but UK wise, not much is happening besides work, family, and weather.

However, today I finally got to see the ENT specialist after a long 6 week wait. Since arriving back in the UK, I have had nose bleeds every single day, plus earaches, loss of hearing etc.

So, after explaining everything to the consultant regarding my diving issue … (see http://diveinstructorjournal.blogspot.com/2010/06/day-145-29th-june-2010-reverse-squeeze.html ) he sprayed a local anaesthaetic up my nose. Then up went the camera to have a good poke around.. It was a little uncomfortable, and I was trying not to sneeze!

Nothing untoward up there, so I have been referred for a CT scan to see higher up in my sinuses (where the issue was) and then a possible operation to widen the sinus area. I hope that this operation will not be needed as it will delay any diving for at least 2 months.

My next appointment is the 10th of Feb. A bit of a downer considering our original plans to return to Koh Tao at the end of January.

I shall keep you updated!

Yet another dollop of snow and the country has come to a halt for the 2nd time in 2 weeks.

Strangely enough, I made it into work at the weekend, to do some bits and bobs..

Not much to say…

I’ve been working… Jen has been doing stuff that needed sorting..

But at the weekend, we went to Kent to visit Chris and his new baby Ethan…

Its strange to see, because we left the UK before Claire was pregnant… so upon our return they have a new baby…

Well done guys..
