Keep a close eye on her Val I hope she will be ok but that doesn't sound good

That much be so confusing. I hope she'll get them back soon.

Earlker this week there was a segment about this on the news. For some people is come back on its own. Others have to retrain their senses and brain and it can take 3 weeks to 3 months.

It's a common symptom.  I've known several people who have had mild cases and they lost their sense of taste and smell.  I'll be more concerned if her oxygen levels start dropping again.

Oh I hope it doesn't take that long!  My cousin's kids both lost their sense of taste and smell, but they came back quickly.

Yes it all depends on people. 

If I'd loose the sense of taste i think I'd eat a spicy pepper to see if i really can't taste it and see how my body react

Spiciness actually isn't a flavor. It's triggered by pain receptors, not taste buds, so, yes, you'd definitely have a reaction.

Good point lad.

You can still eat that hot spicy pepper. It wouldn't have any flavour but it would still burn.

Hmmm, does your mom like peas and mushrooms?

That's not an uncommon side-effect of coronavirus, I understand. But it's apparently not a permanent thing. My niece, her husband, and two of their four children were infected earlier this year and lost their sense of smell for a while. For a while, they had to ask the oldest (10 year old) child to sniff the baby's nappy (diaper) to see if it needed changing.

I had a cheese, cucumber, tomato, and lettuce double-decker sandwich before a Zoom meeting earlier this evening (and actually ate it as I was video chatting one of my sisters on WhatsApp). It's 11:00pm now, so won't have an actual dinner tonight. But I'm planning on sardines on toast for supper.

My mom continues to feel better.  She's still exhausted, but feels better than she did on Monday.  We're thinking that was the worst day and she's on the mend.  Her oxygen levels continue to dip at times, but they go back up to normal levels when she rests.

You could those magic berries that get rid of sour tastes for half an hour. Lemons taste really good apparently

One of the things I remember about my bio dad is that he loved sardines... he's buy tins packed in mustard... 

Hey, Bucket man.    

[Headstall]

Woke up to a new story review this morning. I needed a boost today.   Happy Thursday, all!  

[Bucket1]

Hey Gary

As we know from the crowd here, people love and hate all sorts of foods. Val is happy to give anyone her share of the mushrooms and peas and I would happily swap with Val, she can have all of the evil cucumbers.

We all love you, Tink. You are such a bright light, even when times are tough for you.
