Tony,
My father is taking therapy right now to help with his voice and swallowing........check into it, you don't know if it will help or not until you try it. My father was reluctant but he is giving it a shot. Keep your chin up and don't give up hope, Amy is right - I have seen from your previous posts - you are a strong guy! Keep posting so we can try and help.......Kim
