David, just as I was starting to think "plastic surgeon" the turkey neck vanished. As far as the dry mouth, I started out that way post Tx, and several months later was just about turning cartwheels when I found myself licking an envelope to seal it. Progress in that area was slow and I think it was close to a year when I realized I was out and about without my water bottle, and that I didn't need it. Hang in there!

I think you are doing remarkably well and wish you rapid continuing improvement.
