I'm Mexican/American, born in Dallas and raised in Cuernavaca. I'm bilingual. Dual nationality. I went to to a top 10 leadership military school. I was in a coma for a week and a half from a skateboard accident a week before graduating high-school. I lost my sense of smell and taste from that accident and regained taste a month after, and smell 4 years later when a horse kicked the back of my head. I played polo for 16 years before I became a bartender. Now I enjoy cycling and golf as my hobbies.
I've been social media sober since 2020 until this time last year when I joined nostr. It was one of the best decisions I've made, 🫡🫂🍻
“regained taste a month after” 😮💨 had me in the first half ngl
I felt less alive gor those 4 years. Smell triggers a lot of memories. I didn't get those triggers anymore. It was depressing.
Glad it found its way back to you. Some buddies lost it with covid and it still hasn’t returned.
Tell you what, I was able to do so many dirty jobs. Even pulled a dead possum out from under my uncles house; never smelled a thing.
This is why you’re such a winner; you find the platinum lining in the lead box.

I would feel like a shell if I couldn’t smell pizza, roses, beeswax, or my husband after being in the apiary all day.
I bet when you got kicked in the head by the horse (!) It *rebooted* your olfactory. Check this video out:

A family member sent this to me a few years back when I lost taste and smell from the rona. Doing the flick trick in this video I recovered both senses in short order.
Much less dramatic than your experience but I immediately thought of this when reading your intro here and imagine that the same underlying physiological *correction* occurred when you got kicked.
OMG I’ll bet you know Chip Campbell, Bobby Radcliff, or Herndon Radcliff. You sure have packed a lot of living into your young life. Damn glad to know you & @mallmeow ♡
I played polo with all those guys. My grandad started point clear polo with them.
HF!!! I was a Phi little sister at Auburn, and Bobby was a Phi. He had to leave school at one point because his mother died tragically. His father died tragically on the polo field. Jon played soccer with Chip at Bayside. Just saw Chip & Kim at a party at Christmas. So many people we have in common.
I played a lot with Herndon, super nice guy. I broke Hutch Radclifs color bone. Tripped his horse with a hook. Bobby chewed my ass out. He's a dick.
Here is the abridged version, I am an ESL Mex-Neck that rode horses half my life from a privileged background who now likes to drink and golf. There you have it🫂🚀⛳️🍻

I also shot myself with a .22lr pistol through my left knee at the age of 11.
The proceeding year my family would be displaced due to the Mexican police breaking into my home beating up the maids in search for my father. He escaped through a hole in a wall of bugambilias that I used to visit my next door neighbor Fernanda (whom I had a crush on) with his berretta 92fs. He would remain on the run until 3 years ago when he died homeless outside of a McDonalds in Dallas; in the town I had been born.
Pretty epic set of post’s about your life sir
It's been a wild ride so far my fren. I've lost everything and built a whole new life. And I couldn't have done it without Bitcoin!
