Guest guest Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hi , I'm sorry that things are moving slowly for you - hopefully the progress will speed up soon, hang in there! I would say the talking part is really annoying, I just started an intern job with a medical lab and its kind of embarassing introducing myself to everyone since I can't talk that well, being banded shut with a numb lower lip. Hopefully I can begin to talk normally soon too. Thanks for your response. Val > Val > > I am 12 weeks post op (lowere advancement), and things still feel > wierd.
