weird senses

[lonemagpie]

Another thing I've noticed both while in hospital and after coming out is some sensory differences - improvements I'd say. I'm noticing the absence of certain things, which must have been symptoms of the internal bleeding and damage - for example a whooshing in my ears, and now that's gone everything sounds even clearer (though with misophonia that's a mixed blessing.) I've also noticed that a lot of things smell or taste slightly different to me - not better or worse, but just different, and actually more like I remember from 20 years ago. I'm not sure whether that's down to the insulin/blood glucose rearrangement, or something to do with the stopping of internal bleeding and recovery of red blood cells. (When I was taken in to hospital on October 28th, the doctors who first saw the blood tests said my red cell count was the lowest either of them had ever seen. At least in someone still breathing and talking.) Weird.

And on saturday I have the third endo surgery to look forward to... But I'm only supposed to be in the hospital for "up to four hours" this time...
