I smell!

I can smell again! I CAN SMELL THINGS!!!

 For the last several years, I’ve lost my sense of smell. TOTAL LOSS. Ro and I were riding the motorcycle one day when she started exclaiming something. The stench. Stronger. “Skunk”!! Just as she said it, we passed over the carcass. I couldn’t smell a thing.

What a difference some REAL help can make. Thank you Dr. Anderson (Asthma & Allergy Center of Whatcom County).

 Within days of diagnosing some inflamed membranes and nasal polyps, I’m now able to smell! (Just several days of a steroid and a medicinal nasal spray.) Not to mention, I’m now able to breath through both nostrils!

Favorite smells so far:

  1. my wife’s hair
  2. coffee
  3. my wife’s perfume or anything else she wears
  4. garlic
  5. wood smoke

Stinky things I like smelling:

  1. cow pasture (quickly driving by)
  2. urinal cakes
  3. the odor of the building I’ve been working in, but had no idea it DID smell a specific way
  4. my dog
  5. burning
  6.  skunk

What about you? You’ve probably been smelling things all this time. Have you a favoirte good smell? Or a bad smell you wanna’ admit to liking?
