My wife and I just came home from vacation, and after 4½ years of avoiding it, we have COVID.
(lemmy.world)
We social distance, usually wear masks in public, and stay up to date on our vaccinations. But all it took was one lady with a mean cough on a two hour flight a week ago to ruin that...or so we think.
The timing really sucks. I had plans for my weekend.
Yeah I'm not 100% and it was unsettling how down I was getting about it. My boss still can't taste red meat 2 years later...I need to taste tomatoes again, they are my favorite. I hope your smell continues to return and you are fully recovered!
Do you, or have you ever had a fear from not being able to smell? Not having that in case of a fire or gas leak would freak me out but I never hear people talking about that
Funnily enough I was concerned about only my smells, I still have my wonderful husband sniff me if I'm unsure whether I warrant a shower. I'm more concerned about eating spoiled food, so he'll smell that for me as well. I guess I was also unconsciously banking on him being our gas / fire detector. And now I sound like a racoon, never showering, eating garbage, living in squalor.
Thank you, all the best for you, too :)
