I have not been keeping up with my email for the last couple of weeks. I have been seeing a lot of doctors lately and it has been taking up most of my time. Recently though a CT scan revealed the cause of my chronic sinusitis. As many of you know I have suffering from this for many years now. Finally we know what the problem is and it is operable. I am scheduled to have sinus surgery February 6th. I will get back to everyone as soon as I am able. Sincerly, Patrick  02/01/2012
