My speech pathologist messaged me a list of words to read off of. It was very similar to the lists of words are used to give my students to read to me. The purpose of me doing this was to see what they were able to read. For me, the purpose of Meira giving me these lists is to see whether or not I am able to say them. I still need to read the third list tonight but I am looking forward to it.
I talked to my best friend today and told her that I need to talk on the phone. She has heard me sound drunk before when we spoke on the phone so she is completely all right with me talking with her. I have spoke to Sean on the phone a couple times today and I asked him how I sounded and he told me that he can tell that I am working on it! But, Meira says if I practice a lot, I may NOT lose my speech. I will hope for that because so much is so difficult for me now! Now, chewing food and speaking is difficult.
The most recent difficulties I have been experiencing startle me and I wonder what else is there to become more difficult if not no longer able to complete. This really scares me. But I have to read my third list and I am tired! I can’t believe talking is tiring for me!!!
