Soundy,
I have not tried the tissue test.
After 3 years out I wake up with my tongue
 stuck to the pallet of my mouth.

I always have mints on hand and that helps me deal with the bad taste in my mouth.  I'm almost two years post-op and periodically my taste goes.  When I was on prednisone a month ago my taste was completely off.  Everything tasted salty and I love salt! 

Hang in there it does get better.

I didn’t want to start a new topic. I just wanted to make a statement.
It has been 3 years 2 months since surgery , and I have noticed the past  week or two  that I am not having to move my food from the left side to the right side of my mouth because the left side was not working right so I could chew. :o I have also noticed the past week that I do not have the bad taste in my mouth like I use to ( metallic taste ) just very slight. It brought to mine today  I have not suffered from dry mouth either and I don’t know when that started.  I am not having to use eye drops  just once in about 2 weeks or so.
Yes !!!!!  So healing is on its way. Thank you  Lord!!! ;D
