I think I'm just getting sick of it all...!

I am so so so sick of the spit..At least I'm talking a little again, and I'll try swallowing more today.

I don't understand the mechanics of what's going on.

Why all the spit? I thought I should expect 'less' saliva? Usually I can sleep a few hours without problem, what happens then?

How long until the taste buds return? Everything tastes like crap!!

It's getting OLD
