Summary
They caught COVID in January 2021 and lost all taste and smell for five weeks, then everything began tasting of rotten meat; they lost 13 lbs because eating became a struggle. Taste slowly returned over about two years, though some foods still tasted wrong. On Valentine's Day 2023 they caught COVID a second time, despite being vaccinated and boosted, and wrote that they were tired, scared and defeated.
