Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,128 | Actually, that's my problem right now -- Despite lack of real saliva, I am still getting secretion drainage into my mouth (which I can't swallow, so I periodically have to sponge or suction) -- When I have the excess freshly cleaned up, I can try to talk (finger over trach hole) but the stuf quickly comes back and I get a little frustrated.
