Hi Miss Vicki
I had my trachy out 8 weeks ago, I only had it for a week, but it took 6 weeks for the site to heal, every time you cough, or talk and forget to seal the site delays the healing, I have a terrible cough from scarring to my trachea, so for the first three weeks I was blowing the dressings off, but it did heal eventually..
Keep us informed of your progress, it's been a long long road for you, prayers..
Sunshine... love and hugs
Helen
