I've been feeling better, not great, but better and have been able to have a pipe or two a day since Wed.
My olfactory nerves are on alert, but my taste buds are lagging. Still, enjoyable. The first time in awhile I smelled my 'room note'. Stale tobacco smoke. Dug out the air purifier this morning a started it workin.
I went out to look at the Red Blood Moon around 2:30 and again at 3, I've smoked two mixtures so far today.
Sutliff Danish Cav. and my VaPerBur mix. all Sutliff tobaccos. Used my beater Pride from 10 yrs ago, and a no named apple meer.
diagnosis: bladder infection. Day 4 of antibiotics. That could be one reason for off taste or abnormal taste.
I've been pretty miserable, but at least, so far, it hasn't been a colon blockage. I am skeered to get one, and this has felt like that. I lost 8lbs in 4 days and was getting weaker and weaker. This time, I went for help early enough that I could still manage to drive to the Emergent Care Facility about 6 miles away. No meat wagon.
Took a bag of IV fluids, had tests, got diagnosed and prescribed. my food intake has been way off. I'm able to drink fluids now though and the appetite is either a ghost or it's returning. Hell to wear out.
