RE: Introduce Yourself: Secret Gardener
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 :)
