Well I missed the rads, but i have lost a quarter of my tongue and half of the back of my throat, one year out I can just taste some sweet things, now I hate chocolate, (maybe a good thing) but my taste for savory things is back and i enjoy, garlic, salted nuts and crisps, (sorry chips to you) and if you have been reading my posts red wine tastes good, but coke not so good.
So my advice enjoy what you can the rest will come with time, (yep I know none of us here has patience)
Sunshine, love and hugs
