You know what, this person needs to quit stressing out
over this. Whatever is causing your anosmia, it isn't
life threatening. Do the best you know how to cope
with it and relax a little bit. Life is just too
short.

Today, my pastor will be buried. He died one week ago
today, on his way to Africa for a preaching tour. He
got to Amsterdam, collapsed in the terminal, died
quickly (at least he didn't suffer). Massive heart
attack. Only 48 years old. Leaving behind a church
that cherished him, a lovely wife and too daughters.
The youngest only 9 years old.

So..........life is just too short. Quit stressing
out over this Dr. Henkin thing. Relax. Be grateful
you don't have a life-threatening illness and acquire
some coping skills with the loss of your sense of
smell.

If need be, my doctor is also a psychiatrist and when
I speak to him on June 16, I'll make mention of you
and ask what advise he could offer in coping with
this. Let me know. I'll be more than happy to assist
you with this.

If you'd like, I'll also ask his opinion on Dr.
Henkin.

Be gentle on yourself.

Dr. Henkin is not a crack-pot. You weren't ripped
off.

Blessings!!!!
