I go back and forth. Sometimes I'm literally drooling from too much spit, then at other times I can't get my throat wet at all and need some Biotene mouthwash. At night I always wake up with the dryest mouth and try a sip of water to help. I've had three days to heal right now, but still hurt in my throat everytime I swallow - which - BTW - I'm forcing myself to keep up on my swallowing, so probably a bit of a masochist there.

Interesting that yawning REALLY hurts. Not sure what that one is coming from.
