Thanks Petey, Kevin and Lamont.

My BIL was kinda freaked out yesterday by a nurse who told him that he may never get any taste back. I did a search on taste buds here and was happy to see that everyone who had posted said they eventually got "some" if not all taste back eventually.

I also read where several said they have taste for a few minutes, or bites and then it, as one poster put it, craps out.

I read some threads from here about taste buds to my BIL over the phone and I think he feels a little better.

Thanks again
