    1. ,
      I have been meaning to thank you for the heads up about the "melts" you use for dry mouth. After my wife's recent surgery, her pain meds were causing dry mouth for her making it hard for her to sleep. I remembered your post about the melts and found them and ordered some. They are a life saver for me also. I have been waking up every two hours to sip water and then again later to so to the bathroom all night long. I get dry mouth at night from my inhalers. Since we got the melts, I have been sleeping very well. Only getting up once for the bathroom and to replace the melt. For anyone need them, they are officially called, " Xylimelts". They have a side that sticks to your gum line and molar and stay there. They have been lasting 5 hours each for me. Do an internet search for them and you can order them at your favorite retailer. Thanks again Lori! They are a sleep saver for me! Take care and God Bless!
      P.S. This thread kind of got hijacked. Oh well.

    2. I am so glad to hear that! My sleep has improved tremendously since I started using them, too. Dry mouth can cause massive tooth decay in addition to disrupting sleep, so it is important to address it. I hope your wife's recovery is quick, full and uneventful and that she is good as new soon. - Lori (Team Member)

    Thank you Lori! As the saying goes, "Sh*T Happens".

    1. Hi, Susan! Good to see your name pop up! Hope you're doing OK in this summer heat. The humidity is miserable here. I hope your recovery gets better with time. How frustrating to be operated on more than once and still not see results. Hugs. -Melissa, team member

    2. Thank you! I'm not sure which state you live in, but I'm in Atlanta, the humidity is horrific!!! I think my doctor needs to hang up his white coat! It's frustrating, but I'll survive. I hope you are doing well.

    Hello young lady! Nice to hear from you! Hope all is well with you. I updated my post from last year about my wife's auto accident. She had to have shoulder shoulder last Tuesday. The final major medical stuff she needs to get done. She had rotator cuff and ligament re-attachment on her shoulder. Then physical therapy after 6 weeks in a sling. So I am caretaking for the next couple weeks until she sees the surgeon in another 10 days and sees what she can do and cannot. Once I got through pollen season here in March/Mid-April, my lungs have been fairly good. Knock on wood. My next visit and tests are in October. I did get my doctor to give me a prednisone prescription for when I start feeling a flare up starting.
    I remember you had sinus surgery last December? All healed up now? What have you been doing with yourself? I am just hanging with my wife, playing with my Grandkids, reading, playing video games, cleaning, exercising, and cooking, etc. Take care of yourself! Nice to hear from you. God Bless!

    1. Hi, I'm doing well for the most part. Wow, your wife sure has had a go with it. I had both rotator cuffs done, I don't envy her, but please tell her do do the physical therapy, it will make a world of difference. And tell her, ice is her best friend, next to you of course! Unfortunately, I had another sinus surgery, due to my nose constantly being stuffy. I'm 6 weeks out, still stuffy, nose is still slightly swollen, I am losing faith in my doctor. I have a CT scan coming up in August, just routine. I am beyond blessed, I have had only 1 flare up, that was 3 years ago, and it was then I was diagnosed with COPD. I get winded, and stairs just about kill me, but I'm able to walk my dog a few miles a day. I am struggling to find employment. It's been a year, and no luck. Maybe age discrimination? Ha! Sounds like your living life, good for you! So good to hear from you. Just out of curiosity, do you know what happened to Leon, one of the administrators? He was such a kind man. Take care of your wife, which I know you'll do, and take care of yourself. God Bless!
