I made a CD of some thumpin' gospel music (mainly Andrae Crouch - from the "Mercy" album) and played it evey day during treatment - drove the techs nuts (not all of them though - some were Christians and liked the music)lol.
I'm pretty much where coop is as well - taste buds normal now, love eating practically anything. I did keep all of my teeth but had extensive dental repairs and evaluations prior to treatment.
