I haven't noticed any strange smells from my H, but his skin has definitely changed. It is incredibly dry, like sandpaper. His hands have callouses all over them. We've tried every lotion imaginable - I highly recommend GoldBond lotion if anyone's interested!
About them looking different...
There are times that when I look at my H, it actually creeps me out a bit. It's as if his face contorts in new ways that I've never seen before, and it doesn't look like him. He always had a boyish charm about him, but he seems to have aged so much, the twinkle in his eyes gone. It's sad.
There are times when he still looks like him, and I recognize his laugh and smile.
Strange, strange stuff!!!
