Hi Guys,
The taste thing is the only thing bugging me right now after the operation on Monday. Thanks to my family and friends for all the prayers because I came out with little or no facial weakness. The facial numbness has mostly subsided already by about 80%, and the balance issues are there. Somehow though I already feel more stable and steady right now than I did before. Each day is getting better. So I"m just going to wait and hope that I get back a good portion of the taste. In the summertime, my wife is a gournet cook, and I bring back some extraordinary fish, fresh from the sea. The best meals in our house are served on Monday evening when the fridge is stocked from the weekend fishing. So here is to hoping that it does come back. If its connected to the facial nerve, then I should get most of it back. Have fun in Worcester today!
