Hey Taraz.

I'm so sorry to read this, but the brain has amazing regenerative properties. I know a fair bit about strokes from what I read up after my father had a brain aneurism. It takes time but your brain will form new synaptic pathways with time and practice. 

A few years ago I was told a story about someone who had experienced a stroke and lost their speech completely. His wife insisted on him sucking on a bottle/dummy as she believed that as with young babies, the formation of speech relies a lot on the correct muscle formation being "retaught" and she swore by this. I'm not suggesting you doing this, but perhaps look into similar things that can help to get those muscles working again. If it helps awesome, if it doesn't help improve anything, you wouldn't have done damage. 

Good luck with the speech therapist, I hope that him/her needing a translator doesn't get too frustrating for you. 

Go easy on yourself, these things take time. 

>I do this in a slower form when I write too, as most everything I submit is a freewrite that has very little direction from the start, other than a barely formed idea, a sentence, a title or a picture

I think you mentioned this to me about a month or so ago and I learned this from you. When I started writing more seriously, I used to take time out to properly develop my topic. These days,  I just form latch on a topic and start writing, proceeding to different branches as the the ideas come

Good luck with the therapy Taraz, try to be patient and stay positive.  I have a friend who had stroke when he was just 32, he worked hard to not only speak again but also walk again.  He was inspiring and he is also one of the happiest and funniest people I know.
My best wishes are coming your way 👍😊

~~completely off topic :~~

When I make gaming videos with 3speak I don't include any beneficiaries. But once the posts are made in the information about payout it says:
spk.beneficiary 11.00%. Do you know why this happens?

I really hope you are doing well and hope you will recover as usual.
I also hope that after you go to therapy, I want to hear good news from you.
Hope you get well soon my friend @tarazkp

Oh man. 

Being articulate in speech is something I struggle with. 

I did not realize your dealing with physical impediments like the lip/speech thing. 

I went thru a bout  of Bells Palsy with an abscess tooth 15 or so years back. Also, it is a known side effect of these creepy human experiments with the MRNA injections disguised as vaccines. And a nightmare I never want to re-live.

I guess I did not think it was that bad as You have a way of turning these life lemons into a cool crisp icy drink. 

I envy you for that...

Lady bacon.. uhuuu! I see that😅.

Anyways about the whistling, don't get worked-up about it. I Know a lot of people with perfect mouths and tongues that can't still whistle, so I guess it would be fine.


I never knew that there were therapist for such things, it's good to know.

I hope your therapy session goes well and you return to normal in a short while.


Thank you for sharing this information with us.

As a little child, i remember going to an eye and vision therapist as my eyes were a bit wonky. Not only improved my overall vision, but those exercices made me reach incredible performances using my eyes muscle. Specialists that are really good at what they do are rare, but their solution, even if they may seems simple, can be effective. Do the work and enjoy the results.

@tarazkp I understand when you say that writing is a kind of catharsis, it's the same for me, it helps me to let off steam and also to clarify my thoughts. 

Regarding your therapy, your state of mind influences a lot for the exercises, you should always try to be relaxed and with a good attitude to do it, I had facial paralysis and that's why I tell you that as far as possible you should avoid stress, being tense does not help.

I *did* chuckle at the lady bacon.  

People think something is impossible until someone overcomes this barrier!  Good luck !

> but the loud laugh that escaped from my neurologist when I told him the situation, doesn't fill me with confidence.

Christ! I hope that Finnish neurologist who can't say a word in english hadn't been as evil and imprudent as this one below.

Don't pay much attention to me, buddy. I couldn't help it. It was just my also failed *boomy style* attempt to comment something funny that eventually could make you laugh. :)

People have such a terrible feeling but he can't believe it before he can do it. nice posy sir.

I wish you good luck with your speech therapy, can’t wait to read about your progress on the therapy. 

That boomy character is a ~~hilarious~~ bad influence XD

> because their brain is moving faster than their mouth is able to keep up

Seems to be true for youngest, though we've more or less got that under control now (it was bad enough to be mildly concerning for us and frustrating for him when he was in single digits).

Meanwhile I just kind of stop when my brain has finished the thought but the rest of me hasn't caught up yet.  The people I communicate with regularly are used to this and will usually prompt me to finish ^_^;

<sub>unlike you and youngest I'm not smart though I'm a knucklehead like Galen</sub>

> That isn't my lot though, as while my mouth isn't moving fast enough for my brain, it isn't the speed or clarity of thought that is the issue, it is the opposite. It seems to skip and jump more erratically now and it hits many blank spots, so my mouth is halfway through saying something and then the brain says - "I don't know where this sentence was going".

This is my normal x_x

<sub>but my thoughts are really, really fast, it's just having to convert them into comprehensible sounds for another person that's the problem, typing is much easier because it is both really fast (it still lags significantly behind the thought speed but not as much as writing which I used to get in trouble for because I couldn't keep up with myself, though I remember the teacher I told this to noting it down after I told her why my writing was so messy) and the conversion is a lot easier</sub>

I think it's something (not sure what yet but definitely something) that you're taking the help instead of pretending you'll be just fine (you may actually be just fine, but taking the help is good.  Good luck with the rehab and stuff :D
