Day 38 - Tasty
I know it sounds crazy, but ever since my surgery my sense of taste has been heightened. The flavors in whatever I eat are definitely more intense than they were before. Some things that I used to enjoy are now too spicy.. I don't like spicy. Even aspirin tastes really bad now! I didn't even know aspirin had a taste. I was sure that my tongue was going to die after all of that liquid vicodin but I guess not... The only possible explanation that I've been able to come up with is that my nose was straightened out along with my upper jaw so that my airways/sense of smell are in better condition now.... And everyone knows that your nose affects your sense of taste. Maybe its all in my head though. Actually, it technically is all in my head. haha bad joke. Anyway... I guess this situation, like any other, has pros and cons. The cons being that some things taste funny or bad now.... and the pros are that tasty things are infinitely tastier! mmmmm I think I'm going to go drool over my Nom List now.

that is happening to me too! another thing i found, wether this has to do with my surgery i don't know, is that sounds (my phone ringing, the computer turning on etc.) sound just a little bit lower for some reason... even some songs sound different to me now!
ReplyDeleteI smell more easily. For a long time about 2 weeks anything louder than a whisper annoyed me.
