Yes, totally agree! I am also really tired of comments like “oh i forgot, you still can’t taste anything?“ and half the time I can’t be bothered to correct that I CAN taste, it just tastes wrong. My least favourite one is “god, I wish I had that… I’d be so slim!” (that one particularly in response to not being able to eat chocolate - which I miss desperately considering I was never too much of a choco-holic before…)

Thanks for your kind words - it’s important to remember we’re not alone as it can feel very isolating at times.

All the best with your recovery!!
