My words....my WORDS....they are outta' control! I said something to my daughter in law to the effect, "take your clothes off....I'm in my underwear"....what I was 'trying' to say was....close your eyes....I'm in my underwear! Oy vey!
Every day....every hour....every minute....I screw up! If I'm trying to talk too fast....a word every two/three seconds....that's too fast! I try to be deliberate in terms of putting words together and making sense out of it. If I don't, people look at me, and just smile. They don't laugh at me....or cry....they just smile!
My hope, and prayer is....words will come back. Not as obvious to me....but to other people, friends, family, after time goes bye, they think I'm doing better.
I don't know that my speech pattern will ever go back to the pre-stroke words....probably better anyway! I talked way to fast before my stroke....and I wished that I could slow down....well....I took care of it!
