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!

That is terrible news about your return date. I wish you could make it sooner!
I know mate... Trying to stay positive and see what happens with the CT scan... National Health Service is a great system but slow!!
