no, I can't smell a thing at all

Anosmia has proven a greater challenge that I thought it might be. Cooking is very difficult, food had become much less interesting, we had a charcoal toast incident in the over as I was the only one home and couldn't smell the smoke, and the way I interface with my world had been made smaller. Even the wanders in the woods and the adventures to the oceans seem truncated and incomplete.

The oddest thing in retrospect was something that Shelby brought up - that my primary care physician didn't seem phased by the loss of my scent of smell (three months and counting). He shrugged it off very lightly, offered another round of antibiotics, with no follow up or referral to a specialist...

I can't image he would have reacted the same had I come in and told him I was suddenly blind!
