The good news? I was scheduled for my Botox procedure. The bad news? Not until January 8th, 2022. So I will have to deal with drooling a little bit longer. Though I am on a wait list if someone cancels. But they are worried about getting payment from my insurance company in time. Sigh. I don't have enough energy to fight this.
PS. And thanks to all who suggested I offer to pay out of pocket. I did that and am waiting to see if that helps things along.
My closest friend since 1977 passed away 5 years ago from cancer. It was causing a drooling problem during his last few weeks. They gave him a suction tube, similar to what they use in the dentist's office. He told me it was his "life saver". Something like that might help you get by until this procedure.
