The head of the group just so happeneds to be a Speach Therapists! I will take to her tomorrow afternoon. So far as my Dr and what he thinks. He told my husband at the hospital that he was putting no restictions on me, I can eat and do whatever I am able to do. Everytime I have tried to ask him a time frame type question. He throws it back in my lap and says it really depends on me and how fast I want to recover. I would think that since I try to get out of my house and go somewhere and do something everyday that that is a good sign that I would like to recover quickly. I try to push myself daily. I have never been one to lay around (except for durning my chemo/rads that was hell) I'm just frustrated. Again thanks for your answers. Amy
