I am 19+ months post TX and realized that I finally have enough saliva to spit! I just had to share as I know that my OCF family can appreciate that this is definitely a milestone. I remember a while back when I was able to lick one envelope I thought that was about a good as it would get. But now there is even more saliva. Not 100% yet....but it is getting there. So for all of you behind me in treatment - don't loose hope.
