Ha ha  no .

I'm fortunately not free of the glue monster .

Although for a year I couldn't work around gas systems without someone else with me because I definitely couldn't detect that mercaptan .

I remember the very first time my nose came back online .

Vinegar .

In my kitchen here .

I could smell it and it surprised me .

But , it didn't smell like vinegar  , I could just detect " something "

I think it was over a year before that happened .

Maybe a year and a half .

That entire system was out of commission for a long time  ,, but that crew that works in my skull did a great job of getting everything restored .

We need to have an award ceremony for all of them before I die !

According to that neurologist , there is evidently a major pathway that carries all that data and I hit that plumbing dead-center .

I assume that's why he believed I wouldn't get much back .

I don't understand how that COVID end works  , since it's not mechanical destruction  -- or maybe it is but  just biological  , but I've heard about that for sure .

It's definitely a thing .
