Great news, Rob. How nice to get to enjoy some peace and quiet after 8 weeks of commotion! Even with the best of care, a hospital can never be as restful a place as home (even if it's your sister's home).
Getting your taste sensation back will definitely be a welcome improvement, so eating can become a pleasure instead of a chore. Taste is a sense we tend to take for granted until we're missing it.
You've certainly topped Ruth's records for pills per day. I can swallow pills one at a time with a sip of water, but Ruth learned to do 'em by the handful after picking out the right collection for each time of day. We learned what each pill was for so we could discuss with her doctor when Ruth would no longer need particular pills. It was a relief when we finally had to give our name at the pharmacy, instead of being there so often for refills that all of the employees knew us by sight!
