is it just me or can you relate??

Ok. I'm 81 days today. And I was sitting outside this afternoon.. the breeze was blowing and I smelled fresh grass. Not visable to my eyes. And I thought....I can smell. I mean really smell. And I can and will tell you I haven't smelled like this in years. In years.

Taste. Taste is extreme now. I can taste salt or spices etc. Things that I used to like I don't like. Such as candy. When I was using I walked around with hard candy. Now none. I didn't think nothing about this until some one asked me for some. I don't have a bunch of candy in my possestion.

And site. Wow I can see....super vision. Lol.

What I'm asking is anyone else experiencing this hightnen sense awareness.....or was I that numb for so long??
Anyone's input is welcome.

It's awesome Sarah. I haven't  smelled good in a long time. Taste. Hearing. And touch... Guess this means I'm back from the dead. Lol. I just noticed the smell. And taste. But sight is better. I like it. It's so different. And no more pinned eyes. I can see
