Hey, hey , hey. You had a major operation, give it a couple of weeks. And don't forget the docs said to call if worried. Besides that, we are glad you are back and I am sure your family is also.

Elephant, like Moyan said, it's still a major operation. Even if they like to send people home faster than before, they still removed an organ! It's not like you had a zit popped.Get some rest and I hope your taste buds wake up today. That would drive me nuts.
I can attest to being nuts. I haven't been able to taste or smell for months now.
I can taste a little better today. Having no taste or smell is really relate to inflammation or sinus infection. Phil you must still have active WG going on and you probably already know this. Not being able to taste even 60% really sucks!!! Talk about nuts, I even sniff my food while I eat it to try to get the full effect.....then I think WOW! I really am desperate to taste my food 100%. Hopefully Phil you will taste and smell real soon!
Thanks elephant. I am wondering too if the Wegs is creeping up again.
I went through a period of many years when I had no sense of smell at all - I could not even smell a pot of menthol rub. However, I was in full remission at the time and had no other Wegener's symptoms so I put it down to all the damage and operations on my sinuses that I had previously. Eventually, it just got better and I have no idea why.
This is very typical of my experiences with Wegener's. I get random symptoms that stay with me for a while (sometimes a very long while!) and then go away again.
Phil, I think the Wegs has been creeping up on you for a few months. Didn't your docs decide that was the case?
Oh Elephant, I'm sorry you're not getting the rest OR help you definitely need! I'm worried that you're in a house with pneumonia, too.... Sending you lots of hugs for your strength and vitality. We'll prop you up with hugs until your body is stronger.
When the going gets tuff, the tuff get going, but.......Only one thing to do, elephant: Borrow a boat, bring the kids and go fishing in a quiet laguna or stormy sea if that's your choice. ( I see the dawn, when it gets lighter for you)
elephant sorry to hear that things not working out you deserve all the help you can get after al the help you give us
thinking of you hope things get easier soon DEEx
