I think we all take our taste buds for granted. I know I used to... but now, oh how I wish my taste buds were fully functional. I used to not think twice about if things tasted "right." Hopefully they recover soon. It's hard to explain what the problem is but things just taste off. Water, especially, tastes weird. After my past chemo sessions, things usually start to improve right about 3 weeks out. Hoping that that's the case this time too.
Thinking about taste buds reminds me of this class activity that I did when I was in elementary school. We were learning about sense of taste. We had to taste 4 different items: pretzel (salty), marshmallow (sweet), lemon (sour), and orange peel (bitter). When I'm eating and missing my sense of taste, I think about this and tell myself that I WILL taste normally again.
