Most of us have lost our sense of taste for a few weeks. For me, everything tasted burnt, almost like what I would imagine the ashes of a charcoal fire would be like. Even water tasted bad. Make sure your husband knows this is all only a temporary thing. He is 2/3 finished so he is almost done. Unfortunately it does get progressively harder. You can print out posts to show him if he doesnt want to come onto the forum. Several members have 'accidently' left them laying around where the patient could find them.
Hang in there and dont forget to take time for you too.
