I was feeling kind of smug after the first 2 weeks (out of six)of treatment. No real noticeable side effects except a little increase in phlegm and a slight dry mouth. Today, after treatment #11, my wife and I went to lunch at a restaurant. I ordered fettuccini alfredo. Since I don't have teeth I am sorta limited but today I noticed I couldn't taste anything. BUMMER! I'm fortunate (or blessed) that I'm not experiencing pain or trouble swallowing yet but I was not prepared for the effect not tasting would have on my attitude. Eating is now just another chore that takes time away from stuff I would rather be doing. I found myself wolfing my lunch down just so we could hurry and get away from the table and on to something more enjoyable. I have to be careful that I don't present myself as a sulking brat to my wife and ruin her dining experience. It aint her fault. I need to remind myself of this often. Thanks to you all I have been warned about what may be coming but I guess I don't have the experience until I have the experience. I don't have to look far to realized my piddlin little problems are just "couldabins", as in could have been worse. Thanks for your ears and your support.
