Emily was extreemly lucky to be able to taste again so quickly. Thats the fastest Ive seen on the forum. It will slowly return and can take many months to fully come back. For some members it takes a full 2 years to completely recovery their sense of taste.
Hang in there you have a whole lot of healing to do. Congrats on finishing!!!
