Another Medical story

I've spent the last few days travelling across the country to a hospital appointment with the famous professor Philpot.

The reason being, that after an operation on my nose some years ago, I lost all sense of smell.

You may think, that it's no big deal, compared to our other senses, but there are certain things that I found annoying, like not smelling a fire, or dog poo stuck under my walking boots.

The biggest loss of course is seeing flowers and not being able to smell them.

nobody seemed to believe me, even my doctor, when I said that while I had laryngitis, I lost my voice, and gained my sense of smell back – but it didn't last, and neither did the laryngitis.

Fortunately, I heard a BBC Radio program about a charity called

5th. Sense

Through them, I was put on to Professor Philpott Who is the country’s leading Specialist.

So now I wait for a CT scan.

I’ll let you know how it goes x
