Jim

I do have extra thick mucous all the time, so much so that I have to use a toothbrush three times a day to just scrape it out, plus I often just put my finger in wrapped in a tissue to pull out the nasty sticky stuff. Plus I rinse and spit a lot with just plain water as this stuff is even impervious to seltzer water unlike the first time around mucous.
Amazingly, I've just gotten used to it. And right back at you Jim on the role model thing, because your perseverance and fortitude with all your surgeries and complications makes me think I can do this too.
