I hope all goes well for both Ange's on your surgery days. The biggest remaining effect on my speech is just if I talk a lot, I feel that my speech doesn't sound as good as when I don't talk so much. The nerves on the right side of my tongue starting feeling needles and pins sort of.
Other than that, Alpaca was right about the changes in accent. My heavy Brooklyn accent occasionally sounds sort of Boston. Listen, it could always be worse. It could sound New Jersey, right? Denise
