Jim, welcome, and thanks. I just hit one year (and had my speech/swallowing assessment yesterday - damn cookie with barium, who can ever swallow that stuff without water?), which really focuses my thoughts on the saliva, so the abatement of dry mouth for you was very encouraging for me.

I hope to make a similar post in 17 years!
