My husband is thankfully being discharged from hospital tomorrow following surgery. He had a large portion of his top lip removed together with his hard palate and upper maxilla. He is currently unable to swallow and is constantly leaking saliva. It sounds silly but I am worried about how to manage this at home. In hospital there are pillows with rubber covers and vinyl floors, but what happens when there is saliva all over the carpet and bed linen. Not life threatening I know but any practial ideas would be really appreciated.
