I continue to heal slowly but surely. Recently my taste has become rather sour. I’m not sure why or even how to describe it except that plain water has started to taste more like plain yogurt than water. Go figure! This taste overwhelms most of what I eat these days. It’s not a good taste but I’ll take it over the nasty bitter taste I had a while back and count it as progress.
My mouth and throat are still very sensitive. I sometimes get a strong “prickly” sensation in my mouth as I eat, like millions of tiny needles. It reminds me of the allergic reaction I had to the Rituxan during chemo for Lymphoma. It’s somewhat painful and even a little itchy feeling but it doesn’t last too long.
I was able to eat some pasta with meat sauce the other day in an attempt to stretch. It was pretty scratchy going down but I was able to swallow it without too much difficulty. I really want to eat turkey, etc. next week for Thanksgiving!
