bobd;
Yes, I still drink water at room temperature and the few occasions we have went out I order my water (or tea) with no ice. 4 months out now and I have started to handle warmer (temperature wise) foods at this point, and every day is an improvement. Most things still have to be very bland (and soft) to tolerate. As far as Biotene products, Meijer (I noticed you're from Michigan) carries them. I've also seen the mouthwash at our Walmart and I asked them about the gum and they had it behind the counter (I think the gum has been a huge help combating Trismus, and I thought I would never chew a piece of gum again! My therapist said limit the usage to like 10 to 15 minutes or so at a time right now). I agree with everyone else, keep pushing yourself. It gets better.
Best Regards,

Steve
