I never lost my voice but did lose the ability to speak clearly. I still don't and I don't think I ever will, but what I can't say I spell.It's part of my life and some others on here now tho.

Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
