Aneurism healing again

Now I'd have included this with the last repair update if
I'd known about it.

Paul Jeffree...

Good one Pam. Now it's nearly lunch time.....
:-)

Pam the goose...

It is indeed Paul and while Ray's out walking the dog I have
sneaked to the fridge and got a slice of beef cos I'm well
and truly ready for food! Me eating meat voluntarily is a
real new one:)

Let's start with how I found out the repair had happened:-

Jackie...

he!he! so pleased for you Pam - your repairs and making me appreciate more
the things you missed!

Pam the goose...

What is so odd about the situation, Jackie, is that although
I knew I had no taste I honestly couldn't remember what
taste was or how anything *should* taste! Tonight when I
recognised that chip as having a taste of potato it was the
first time for years I had known what potato tasted like yet
I knew immediately that it *was* a potato taste.

Isn't the brain a wonderful, but at times frustrating thing?

BunnyHare...

Great news Pam reading about the repairs you have made during the time I
have been away.
I like to hear these little snippets. So pleased for you about the
taste thingy must make mealtimes much more interesting

Pam the goose...

*Very* much more interesting, Barb:)
I had a drink of chocolate and a blackcurrant cake at the MW
service station on the way home last night.
The chocolate was great but the cake? I could taste the
sponge wasn't properly cooked and had to really look to see
if I was just imagining it! It wasn't imagination so I just
ate the outsides that *were* cooked and they were lovely:)
Last week I would have just ploughed through it without
noticing!

We've just been to the pub for a meal. Well, Ray's been out
most of the day giving a talk on S&R somewhere so I didn't
think it fair to let him make the evening meal.

John the R-T...

Keep it up Pam. You'll be running the marathon next. :-)

I had fish and chips and got a shock when I put the first
chip in my mouth and it tasted of potato! Followed it with a
forkful of peas and they tasted like peas! Followed that
with a forkful of fish in batter and - I think you know what
I'm going to say - I could taste the fish and taste the
batter!

By the time I'd got to that point I was on seventh Heaven
and told Ray my taste had at last come back.

Flyiñg Ñuñ 2°°6 +...

That sounds wonderful Pam. I bet at the moment even school dinners would

Pam the goose...

ROFL
Yes, I think you have a point!
I grew up on them, it's a good job I wasn't really
interested in food, as far as I have been concerned it was
just to stop me feeling hungry.
Wow, times have changed for me today:)

taste good. :)

Tickettyboo...

Whey hey!!!!

Pam the goose...

ROFL
If I remember I'll have to pack some:))

So we followed the main meal with a pud - I chose 3 flavours
of ice cream cos I was getting interested in this taste
returning bit. I had coconut, chocolate chip and chocolate.
And no matter what I put in my mouth I could tell by the
taste what flavour it was.

Oh, the joys of being able to taste again! It was only the

Rabbit...

I do hope that's nothing to do with your favourite eating place up here

Pam the goose...

I'll never know if their meals were tasty now:(

Rabbit...

Yeah but you will be able to taste the new soppa doopa menu and admire the
view you like. Just arrange a second mortgage before you come :-)

Pam the goose...

Hey, hang on, I only want to be the me I should have been by
now!
Capable of looking after myself and my house is all I aim
for, just that'd do me:))

Pam the goose...

We'll get butties from ASDA and park on the prom outside the
new place. That'll do:)

Rabbit...

That's an idea or we could park in their new soopa doopa car park just to

Pam the goose...

Ooo, I like that idea!

prove a point :-)

closing down ;-)

JoeH...

Wey hey, you're certainly on a roll Pam. :))

Pam the goose...

ROFL
I seem to be, don't I?

other day I was telling Seadancer that my sense of taste has
gone and, here I am, without any warning, telling you it's
back as though it was never gone!

Aries...

I'm so pleased for you Pam. I can't imagine what it must have been like not
have any feeling of taste! Now tell me, what is your favourite remembered
taste and will you be tasting it soon :)

Pam the goose...

Hang on for the answer to that till my rememberer gets
better! I honestly cannot remember what tastes like what.
Ice cream has never been a favourite of mine since
childhood, and I didn't have it often then. But I really
think I have got back better taste than I had because those
three ice creams each had a particular flavour and the
flavours were strong - well, strong to how I remember ice
cream!

Aries...

How's about chocolate - see if your taste buds remember that, and if not
get Ray to buy you some as now you have your taste back you're in for a
treat, ask Splodge - Mmmmmmmmmm :)

Pam the goose...

Hey, whose side are you on?
Remember the low-fat diet that Rabbit put me on? It stopped
the gall stones hurting and I've got really used to it.
Chocolate is in the banned foods!
Actually, I spent my teens eating chocolate galore, I loved
it. Some of my friends couldn't eat even a quarter as much
as I did without putting on weight, but I never put an ounce
on with it.
But I'm taking no chances, those gall stones HURT :(

Aries...

Oh sorry Pam, naughty me, I'd forgotten for a moment about your low fat
diet :(

Ponder...

Leaps and bounds Pam, leaps and bounds :-)

Bram...

Glad you are getting your just desserts Pam..

Pam the goose...

LOL
You never change:)

;-)

I think I'd better hug you while I can still get my arms around you.

Pam the goose...

I'll take any amount of hugs, you know that:)

It's a good job my ability to feel hungry/full returned
before the taste did cos if I didn't feel full from that
meal I'd be out raiding the kitchen for things to taste:))

So, there you are, even after 3 years and 3 months
*important* things are happening in the way of repair. I'm
chuffed to NAAFI breaks:))))

Anita Carter...

That is good news indeed, Pam :)
Now keep right on to the end of the road :)))

Pam the goose...

Hmmm, yes, though the way be long let your heart be strong.
Yes, I'll keep trying:)

Anita Carter...

Good :))

noreen...

That is incredible Pam !!! just incredible ;-)))))))

Pam the goose...

It really is, Noreen:)
I didn't think I'd ever get it back.
And so much for that first doctor who said what I hadn't got
back after 2 years would stay missing!

noreen...

You have certainly proved him wrong ;-)))))

Tickettyboo...

Doctors ! They only know about physical stuff, they should take the power
of love and good thoughts and prayers and stuff into account and find out
how much of a difference they can make :-)

Pam the goose...

I have to agree with you, boo, cos that's what I've
experienced:)
I couldn't have done these repairs on my own.

Rabbit...

And so you should be, good news, nay great news.

Linedancer...

That's great news Pam, you must be really thrilled, another milestone marked
off :-)

Pam the goose...

It is, isn't it Pat?
You put up with lack of taste during a cold but the worst of
it only lasts a day or two. And, believe me, it's nothing
like the *total* absence of taste!

~~seadancer~~...

Pam,
I'm so happy to hear your good news!
What an amazing recovery!
The brain is a mysterious thing.
You must be thrilled!

Pam the goose...

Thanks, Sea:)
I'm still revelling in the fact that I can taste I've got
milk on my breakfast cereal - it uses to be a sort of thick
water to me!
In fact everything is a joy to my taste buds and I look
forward to meal times today:)
