[tri-med] Re: drooling

Robinul wasn't a good option for Mari due to her heart condition, but....  She 
had her lower salivary glands cut (bilateral submandibular salivary excision), 
and an upper gland (parotid artery) tied off during tonsil & adenoid surgery.  
It had truly taken her from a bib an hour to a bib a day.  She healed very 
quickly, but it takes about a year for the scars to diminish....they're kinda 
scary looking along both sides of her neck.
