Today, I had an appointment with my Speech Pathologist. Her goal today was to get me tired and it completely worked! About 17 minutes in, my eyes started to hurt. My speech slipped a few times as we spoke, but I was able to correct it.
I met her in October 2021 for my swallow test. I started seeing her after that. She told me that I am not unintelligible but she told me that it is tiresome now for me to speak. It really is! I am still trying to wrap my head around that!
She gave me homework. She told me that I need to have 2 30 minute conversations with someone and that it counts if I talk to my Mom. She also told me that conversation with Sean counts as well.
I called Sean today and he agreed to help me with my homework:
I got an ‘A’ today and that makes me feel good but I don’t like thinking about how difficult it is becoming to speak now…
