Re: Another OT

Thanks Melody,
As you've probably noted from other messages, it's sinusitis which has
traveled down for some chest congestion.  But it's all pretty minor.  Thing
is I get this sort of thing once or twice each winter and handle it otc.  It
just happened that I was at the dr's for my arm and I mentioned it.  I've
nearly never gone to the dr for sinusitis b4.  I do recall one time, but
again, I was there for something else as well, but back then he never went
into all this medication for it.  Thanks for your concern.
Kitty
