I’m thankful every damn day, trust me.
I had in my own personal opinion an above average palette, you don’t realize how discriminating of taste you have until you loose it. A guy who has had 20/20 or better vision their whole life and then in a blink of an eye (pardon the pun) wake up one morning with way below vision ability then realize how well they saw. Sudden lost of Tastes is exactly like that.
