I learned a lot reading this thread. Thank you both for sharing.
A comment on C19 and hospitals. My surgery for SCC on my tongue (glossectomy and neck dissection) was April 1 2020 in the midst of the first wave in Southern California. At first, I thought it would be really hard on me with no loved ones there. But, over a couple days, I realized it was much harder on my wife. The not knowing is brutal and the mind plays games. So, soon as I could speak with the Passy-Muir device, we did taped videos and soon phone calls. The nurses were angels. I mean it. We had some of the most amazing experiences (choking, suctioning, laughing, trying to get the 15 wires and cables out of my way to use a bathroom). I think back, and honestly, my recovery went better. I was absolutely focused on my recovery and getting home to my family.
Hoping this whole thing is a simple fix but just in case, wanted you to know the hospital stay was not that bad.
