Luckily, I have regained 80 percent of my kidney function. I ate absolutely everything they would bring me, even the sugar-free lime flavored jello. I couldn't taste a damned thing except sweet, sour, salty or hot. I asked Alice to bring me a bottle of Tobasco sauce. I could at least taste that.
Taste is something that never has come back.
I got a little better each day. One day I didn't have to drink bile anymore. Another day I got a drainage tube taken out. Recovery is so slow that it is imperceptable from day to day. Neuropathy in my feet makes them feel like they have been crushed by a truck.
