Tell me about it... been through heart operations and have 8 stents. I was awake during all operations and trust me... I wish that to NO ONE! Since last year I've been having anxiety attacks out of the blue which which makes it hard to breathe and I get very nervous. Heart rate and blood pressure rockets. Whenever I get a chance I always tell people to cherish the smallest things in life such as being able to see, hear, speak, have limbs. I thank god everyday I wake up and go to sleep feeling well. Be able to go to work and get home safely. Loved ones are healthy and that we have roof over our heads and food on our table. I even pray when I hear an ambulance, pray for the well being of the person or people who needs that ambulance, to keep them out of harms way. "I don't have everything I want but love everything I have". We need to love and help each other.

neve noodle I still have the trach, and getting ready for back surgery soon! They’re wanting me to keep my trach permanently, because I can’t be intubated (that’s what went wrong in my dental surgery that caused the emergency trach, went into cardiac arrest & died for 20 minutes) but I really want to take it out. I miss going under water, not having to deal with all the suctioning, trach care/change, etc. Hoping to figure something out! And I completely understand you. I couldn’t write or type at all really. My mom actually told me when I woke up from my coma and was all drugged up, that I mouthed for her to kill me, and she of course freaked out and said no, and I replied with, “well can the nurses do it?” Lol. Sad but it’s funny to hear back. Hope you’re doing well! I had the same therapy’s, along with physical & occupational! You got this xo

@Tressym.6 жыл бұрын
Unfortunately medicine is just not that far advanced yet, and while tongue transplants are being done, they wouldn't do much for him and his ability to speak. To quote an article I found: "In combination with the loss of the voluntary motor activity, this results in a severe obstruction to the patient’s articulation and ingestion of food. The aim of transplanting a donor’s tongue is to compensate for the deficit in volume.” In short, it's meant to fill the void in the mouth that would probably feel weird post-op and might be hard to cope with, but even if he got it he wouldn't be able to taste with the implant, or use fine enough movement with it in order to make all the proper pronunciations when speaking. Sounds with L's or T's for example just wouldn't be possible, try making those sounds yourself without moving your tongue, just not possible.

He should've record himself saying 'I love you' and little things like that Edit: I feel like people are misunderstanding what I meant. He may have recorded sentences, but that only achieves a duplicate voice that isn't entirely his own, his sentences will have a bit of a robotized undertone. When I say he should record himself I meant it as a means to have his true voice on record so he could still tell the people around him that he loves them in a way that sounds genuine. In any means this is just a suggestion nor do I know if he has done so already.

You don't know what you have until you lose it. It's something I like to live by and it makes the grief of loss a lot less painful. I think the most important thing anybody can do is to spend as much time with their family as they can. Life isn't guaranteed, and you could wake up one day to the news that you've lost a family member. Enjoy every last second and build the best memories you can. You don't want to wait until it's too late and then think to yourself "I could have" or "I should have." Your parents might not be around for your entire life, but your memories with them definitely will, and to me that's what truly matters.

This man is an amazing example of resilience and staying strong in difficult times, I hope his spirit stays happy and fulfilled and that he grows from this and doesn't become overwhelmed or too sad. Good people go through really hard things, and it's not fair but the way you DEAL with it makes such a big difference. Just watching this was so inspiring, he dealt with it so gracefully, he didn't pretend nothing was wrong - but he didn't let it get to him. It inspired me to be grateful for everything I have, and to stay strong in the face of hardship.

@ub3rfr3nzy946 жыл бұрын
Not true. Without a tongue you would only be able to smell. Taste doesn't rely on smell, it's augmented by it. Smell and taste merge into one. You only really taste things until you've swallowed anyway, hold it in your mouth with or without closing your nose, you don't taste it as much as after you swallow it. Some foods might rely on smell more than taste or vice versa. You can taste drinks even though most of them don't have a smell (except hot ones and alcohol).
@heuvelke10656 жыл бұрын
UB3RFR3NZY The foods smell comes loose when it gets wet in your mouth and rises up in your nose. When your nose is blocked from breathing you cant taste Anything besides salty, sweet or bitter. Thats how they learned it to me.

My dad passed away a year ago from cancer. He have a very distinctive voice low and growly. To try to beat the cancer they removed his voice box gave him a trac along with removing the tumor on his artery in his next best they could and did chemo and radiation. For 3 months after that he was doing great and I never thought about what his voice used to sound like then he went in to recheck and the tumor grew back and spread to his brain and died in 3 months didnt even make it as long as the doctors said. After he passed I always try to remember the sound of his voice but cant. However once in a while I will dream and he will be in it talking reminding me what it was. Being in my upper 30s I hope I get plenty of those dreams because after time you still forget the sound. My dad was a trucker as well after he fought in the army at vietnam.
