I was coasting on the idea that if nothing else I could enjoy all these soft foods, but the taste that lingers in my mouth is foul. It's permeates everything, my water, my ice pops, the vanilla ice cream, all of it with this undercurrent of whatever this ungodly taste is. Today in the morning I went into the kitchen to blend ice and water to make kind of a slushie and my family we're all wondering why I wasn't adding anything (I can't talk) but I couldn't tell them that it wasn't about taste, it was about just relieving the pain. I just let it rest in my mouth for a bit just to chill stuff. But the slushie wasn't about taste, nothing is anymore, just relief. But anyways, thats how its going for me (got mine removed last wednesday the 22nd. Recoveries been ass but its been fun to communicate with varying degrees of jazz hands.
