Ankur, my speech is almost entirely back (I would say about 95%). The remaining 5% is really only noticeable by me. Occasionally someone will ask if I am from the east coast as they hear a slight accent.

I was back to work 20 days after my surgery (too fast, would NOT recommend that), and I did speech therapy for 4 months with a therapist, and 1 hour on my own every day since. Did I mention Type "A" personality?

I was understandable after a month, and it progressed thereafter. By March I was confident enough to teach a conference in front of 500 lawyers. The tone of my voice was deeper until about May, when it reverted back to my normal pitch.

It was frustrating at times, but I had also asked the speech therapist to record sessions that I could go back and listen to for motivation. When you hear yourself every day it's hard to notice the improvements, but when you can hear from month to month, it was very gratifying and motivating to keep pushing, as you can hear the major changes.
