By the way, Nelie my spit is still improving drop by drop even now. When I wake up most mornings now, the inside of my lips are moist & even a little drool! Ah, the simple things, drool in the morning! My tongue, cheeks, teeth & upper throat are pretty dry though. A couple sips of water & straight to the coffee pot to make very strong, rich coffee with cream & sugar seem to make me salivate! Wendy's chili with cheese, onions, & a couple of sour cream tubes mixed in goes down real well & is delicious & nutritious! Erik
