@snow - losing any sense of smell on a permanent basis would be hard enough given that food is the center of our day with family and friends, celebrations and so many other things in life. Reducing food intake simpley for the necessity of ingesting calories for survival is a tough pill to swallow on so many levels. And I almost don't understand why you haven't lost weight given how little you eat. - When Covid hit, my pool class at the Y closed down which I loved. Lots of things happened since. My husband's amputation, me breaking both hips, and a shunt put in my head these last 5 years. - We can ask and make guesses about our circumstances, had things gone differently. I will always think that I could have had a few more years which would have counted for alot were it not for Covid. But, we will never really know. - Pam
