Over the years I've lost count of the number of times my realism and practicality have been labelled as me being negative.
Well, all of those colleagues, managers, friends, family, wife, kids and those who have stopped me in the street just to inform me of my lack of positivity, I just hope you're happy now.
It's official. I have confirmation from no higher an authority than the UK National Health Service that I am indeed negative.
Now I just have to worry about the possibility that my loss of taste and smell could be an early indicator of Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimers, MS or some other ghastly neurological condition.
Note to self. Stop Googling symptoms.

Hmmm... well... 
At least you're still alive, right? Although, Mrs. WorDazza may not think that's such a good thing. I'm sure she was already planning on how to spend your life insurance.

@DaddyEvil All true. My money is far better invested elsewhere rather than with some insurance company who will probably pay out less than I put in!!

Glad you're negative...would that be in referrence to a Covid test? Not sure about the taste and smell thing, but you're right. A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. And it's often wrong!

@WorDazza Probably asked our grandma. I had researched the surgery for a torn rotator cuff before I had it and when I asked about a certain way to do it that I had read about on the internet, my surgeon said they don't even do it that way anymore.

I'm just waiting to see how things go. Loss of taste and smell as an indicator of those more serious conditions I mentioned is usually a permanent loss and usually appears years before the condition itself.
I seem to be improving slowly. There is definitely some taste and smell returning but it seems to be selective. I can taste and smell a cup of tea but not coffee. Weird!

Yeah, might want to stop doing that. I would also keep an eye on your systemptoms and don't be afraid to seak a medical professional's help if they worsen.
