RE: Introduce Yourself: Secret Gardener
Welcome aboard!
Well, you've got me on dogs (I'm a pet-sitter), gardening ('ragtag style'), and strokes (had one a year ago).
I'm thinking there's some room for chatting in there somewhere... ;~D
Sounds like we have tons in common! Thanks for the welcome... and hope life post-stroke is treating you kindly. Big hugs x
Yes, thanks, I'm doing well. It only zapped my speech and that's much better now. I was back to work within two weeks. I was very lucky.
Sounds like your recovery is going well. So pleased you landed here and I think you'll find lots of new friends.
I was also back to work after 2 weeks.... and although it didn't initially damage my voice, it's come back for that a few years later... I recently started speech therapy as my voice is beginning to weaken and distort. But we'll get there. Otherwise - doing great! xx
Wow, that's got to be a frustrating development. I'm glad they found the root cause of the problem and fixed it. (They checked me for that condition, too. No hole. Yay!) I hope the therapy helps you keep your voice a good long time.
My issue is actually forming the words and speaking smoothly. If I try to hurry or say too much at once - it's like gridlock. A deep breath and re-grouping my thoughts helps me get back on track.
Gridlock sounds grim! I'm Irish - so used to talking fast - but for a time after my stroke entire sentences did seem to come out as short incomprehensible 'bleeps'... found I was really prone to swearing too! Most unlike me :)
