QUESTION................ Re: When is talking allowed?

[Guest guest]

As far as talking, the first couple days I was too swollen and

sedadted to do much talking. because of the splint it was hard to

understand what I was saying. But I learned that once you start

talking you adjust to the splint and it becomes much easier. So

don't get too discouraged at first, give it time. I just didn't

like the way I sounded so I didn't talk a whole lot unless I had too

untill around week 5.
