Yes my brother, speech therapy can work wonders and the VitalStim at least lets me swallow some of my saliva.
My plastic surgeon who did the tongue flap reconstruction said just today at our meeting that my speech was "EXCELLENT" for such extensive surgery - even though I sound like Dick Clark on New Year's Eve.
The key to success is home practice, each and every day in addition to the therapy visits. You know the drill already from physical conditioning and will do just great
I am so glad to hear some good news for you. You deserve it all.
