I have the lisp that makes me sound funny and have people always asking, " what did you say" LOL I do a lot of repeating. I had my surgery the 3rd of Aug. and still have the tongue and neck problems , but they will get better given time. I hate not being able to lick my lips when eating too. LOL I can feel your pain and will pray for you in church this morning. Jim
