@wpb I only take a baby aspirin, no other blood thinners. No problem with bleeding. I also use a mouthwash for dry mouth and lozenges. They help some but I still wake up in the middle of the night with a completely dry mouth and a sore throat. I then drink some water and pop in another lozenge.
Three weeks in the hospital must have been rough, it isn’t a pleasant place to be. I hope you are doing better.

It sounds like you use the same dry mouth regimen. I am guessing the problem stems from either beta blockers or BP meds? Like you, I wake up half way through the night and use a new lozenge
The biggest problem with the hospital stay was losing too much weight as well as muscle mass. I regained the weight eventually and am still working on strength training. I am guessing a lifelong project.
