Hi Teresa
Physical therapy is a challenge. It has triggered so much pain in my head. I also have a nurse 2x a week
She had helped me organize my meds and I have a good speech therapist. My mouth still droops some but I can drink out of a cup now without dribbling. Being home with hubby os good. So frustrating that he has to do housework and cooking. Wish i could speed this recovery up but cant. I am grateful to be alive but need better pain control to really enjoy life. Going to talk to my surgeon today.

Thanks for the update, @rose4622. I hope you do get some better pain control. It does sound like you are getting some good support. Speech therapy is a great thing. I've had it several times after vocal cord surgery. Be patient with yourself, this will not resolved itself quickly, so take it easy and allow yourself to depend on others as much as possible.
Will you post an update after you see your surgeon today?
