Dry Mouth..

I think they're going to see how the medium size fits. With the small size, I also feel the mask on the sides of my mouth.. maybe that's the way it is supposed to be, but it just feels weird.

By the way, I stopped at the hardware/pharmacy store and found the Biotene toothpaste and mouthwash. I was totally shocked that they had it! I'll still look for the gel tomorrow. The first time I was in the store last year, I was able to fill a prescription AND get a pooper-scooper. Small towns can be kind of nice.

Thanks so much everyone! I appreciate all of the suggestions that I received in such a short period of time!

All my kids have a Powerade bottle (it's a sport drink you can ge anywhere) filled with water near their bed. It has a cap on it and it's spill-proof. You can drink lying down and won't get water all over yourself (and your cat can't get at it).
