The taste situation is rather bizarre. It appears to have come back to near normal today. I only had a small job this morning and she went along with me so we could to other things afterwards. Our food choices were limited in the town we were in and we were stuck there because I was waiting on a background check on a Ross MKII project rifle. She picked Taco Bell because she and I figured the little bit of spiciness of the food would be of benefit. I didn't want her to order something she couldn't eat so I asked the woman taking our order if she could have a spoonful of meat before we ordered. I did tell her why and she didn't hesitate and got her a small bowl of it. She liked it so we ordered and she ate most of the meal. Turns out the woman's mother had chemo and knew exactly what we were talking about.
She was also able to eat a small meal she picked out, tater tots and beefy cheese or something like that and she just told me ginger ale tasted like ginger ail again so maybe this will be a two day a week event. Treatment day one, normal, day two normal, day three nothing tastes edible, day four can eat but it tastes bad and day five back to near normal. I guess we'll find out as this goes forward.
She can stand to lose some weight but not so much she doesn't have strength to function.
