Fourteen weeks - Little change, mouth and throat still sensitive to hot and spicy. Doctor thinks the sensitive spot at surgery site is scar tissue. That it doesn't stretch when eating is what he thinks is causing my eating related discomfort.

I started using a humidifier at night when sleeping, that seems to help with the really dry throat during the night.

I also started using a NeilMed Sinus Rinse bottle, that has really helped with the dry, sticky sinus drainage. And I can breath a lot better.

Bald spot at base of neck is almost completely filled in now.

Weight remains constant.

Since little change is occuring, I will move to a once monthly update.
