I've talked a bit of communication.
I
don't really communicate with speech. I do have some, and it has gotten
much better. I'm sure it will continue to improve, as I use it every
day.
People have asked if they could talk to me. There's no guarantee on my speech, though. On a good day I'm understood. On a bad day, I'm not. I've reserved using the phone to close family and friends only. It's been better that I use the written word. So I use communication like this.

The following video shows where I'm at now. I do not get speech therapy. I did in the beginning until my insurance ran out. Now I have Medicare and I don't get therapy. There have been a few sessions over the years, but nothing to have gotten me this far. What you see is what I have done.
There's more of that in my group on G+, My Brain Hurts. If you need some speech exercises, http://braininjuryknow.blogspot.com/2010/11/oral-motor-exercises.html.
You are such amazing woman , I have always believed they are to ready to pull the plug......for months brain injuries need the time to heal and even though their tools might not pick up on that but the brain is shut down just to recuperate and generate the healing process................Never give up , it might be hard for family to hear the prognosis day after day and then the pressure to end it, I know with me I knew my brain was saying things for me but not to them..............Keep up your amazing and inspiring story Big Hugs
