Ten Month Report - Well I missed the nine month report, so here is an update.

It's not a lot different from two months ago. Food taste is still the disappointment. I can eat everything, and I can taste everything, it's just a lot of it doesn't taste very good. I suppose there's a silver lining in that black cloud because when food tastes bad, you don't eat much of it, so it's easy to keep the weight off.

The dry, gunky sinuses are still a problem, but not a big problem. It wasn't all that long ago I had to use the sinus irrigator multiple times per day; now it's once a day at most. We're just getting our first really cold spell of the season and it's pretty dry outside, so I'm thinking it's making the sinuses a little drier than normal; maybe I'll go back to using the humidifier at night when sleeping.

The bad taste in the mouth is pretty much all gone.

I did get to attend the OCF walk in Houston in October and meet both Christine and Uptown and one other survivor who I don't see on the forum much. One of the dental hygiene schools brought a lot of students to give oral cancer screenings and I'm proud to report they have learned how to give an excellent screening; wish everybody screened that well.

take care,
Tony
