No More Taste
Contributed by John Perry on Oct 20, 2010 (message contributor)
NO MORE TASTE
In the final years of my parents lives, they lived in an area where there were a number of retirement units. It was good for them b/c they met new people their own age, mixed w/ them, had a seniors club they went to & generally had a good time.
I remember one couple in particular they met & became good friends with. The husband had throat cancer a number of years earlier & due to surgery had permanently damaged his ability to taste anything. I remember my mother telling me how his wife asked him what he would like to eat & he would just say ..... it doesn’t matter I can’t taste anything anyway!
For this man eating was simply a matter of staying alive. Enjoyment was no longer a part of his dinning experience.
