I am eating totally by mouth and am learning what foods I will not ever be able to eat again due to the dry mouth. I have not used my tube in about a month now and am scheduled to get it out at the beginning of summer as long as my next check-up goes well. I am really nervous about getting it out. I know there is nothing to it, but I do not want to have another one put back in.
