Charm, Ive been watching for an update about your recovery. I knew there had to be one sooner or later. Also knew you must be feeling better as I see you posting more frequently. So glad to hear you are recovering so quickly.

Sorry to hear about the darn mucous! That really stinks but its a temporary issue. Can you try using a water pik on the lowest setting to help get the gunk out of your mouth? Its worth a try, maybe it would work. If you have prescription mouthwash like peridex, dilute it 3 or 4 parts water to 1 part of mouthwash so it wont burn your sensitive mouth. Or maybe try diluted biotene or seltzer water like you used before. Hope this phase goes by quickly!!!

Keeping you in my thoughts! Be well buddy!!!
