Who said anything about giving up?! LOL Clearly you haven't met me!

I look forward to hopefully getting a bit more improvement, but if I don't, I'm now used to this version of "normal for me!"

It is difficult at times to get other people around you to understand how things are different now - especially in terms of how things taste. The one thing I've learned through all of this is how little is truly understood about taste and how it works.
