PLUS I DO NOT HAVE A CAR EVEN THOU I HAVE DRIVERS LICENSE BUT COULD NOT DRIVE ANYWAY BECAUSE I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO WITH MY SALIVA PROBLEM KEEPING MY TWO HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL...ALSO I AM 83 YEARS OLD AND LIVE ALONE WITH MY FEW FRIENDS THAT LIVE CLOSE BY THAT HAVE CARS THAT COULD HELP ME ...TO HELP ME TO DRIVE ME TO ANY DOCTORS APPOINTMENT OR FOR SPEAKING FOR ME ALSO BUT THEY ARE OLD & SICKLY LIKE MYSELF SPECIALLY WITH THIS VIRUS EVERYONE ELSE IS BEING SAFE... YES I HAVE DYSPHAGIA BUT HOW MANY HAVE SUCH A SERVER SALIVA PROBLEM THAT OVER-TAKES ME WITH SALIVA POURING OUT OF MY MOUTH LIKE A WATER-FALL NOW FROM 2017 & NOW IN 2020 LIKE 2 WATER-FALLS ...I SAW ON GOOGLE THE INFORMATION THAT I COULD HAVE A STONE IN THE SALIVARY GLAND OR A INFECTION ? BUT IN ANY CASE I NEED TO HEAL THIS SALIVA SOMEWAY & ONLY KNOW THAT SIALENDOSCOPY IS MY ONLY HOPE INSTEAD OF REMOVING THE SALIVARY GLAND..YES I HAVE A INITIAL APPOINTMENT WITH A ENT DOCTOR DECEMBER 20 BUT BEFORE THIS WEEK THE DOCTOR MESSAGE ME THAT I REALLY DO NOT NEED A SIALENDOSCOPY WITHOUT SEEING ME FIRST,,& EVEN ASKED ME TO CALL HIS OFFICE TO TALK BUT I MESSAGE BACK THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO SPEAK ...I AM THINKING THAT THE ENT DOCTOR AT THE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL DOES NOT DO SIALENDOSCOPY ANYWAY..I KEEP SEARCHING....BUT WHERE?

@robertcort You are in need of support and relief. I'm wondering if you have considered attempting to get a social worker with the county or a local aging and disability office. I know that you said you have difficulty speaking. Would emailing these institutions be an option?
