Thank you for your welcome. My spirits are especially high right now, as I had another cancer scare last week that was just that - just a scare.

I found a blister on my tongue (what's left of it) that bled when it broke. I was going to Gainesville that day for a CT scan (they're watching my lungs, too) and just walked in to Dr, Bill's office, unexpected and terrified. My angel said it didn't look or feel like cancer and that he was sure it wasn't. (He was right, of course. It has since healed.) I gave him a huge hug and cried with relief. Still don't know where it came from, though. I don't remember burning my mouth recently, and, being totally toothless, I couldn't have bitten it. I don't exactly spend a great deal of time gnawing on sharp bones, either.

I already have gotten help from "all you guys" just by roaming through the many posts. I can't wait to try that Biotene spray. It could change things for me SO MUCH. Pretty soon I hope to be able to return the favor and give supportive and helpful answers to others. Just want to get my feet a little wetter, first.
