Wojtek Blasiak Had a surgery on Oct.30 with replacing aorta aneurysm and repair valve as well. I'm struggling a bit with recovery with my cough and speech as my words seems to have a hiccups. Soooo frustrated and not sure if I was ready for this. It is almost 4 weeks after surgery and doctors suspect some damage with my "pipe" during intubation. Did anyone experienced this feeling after surgery and how long it takes to shake it off?

Debbie Kelly My father lost his voice, to only a whisper. The surgeon blamed the anesthesiologist, and the anesthesiologist blamed the surgeon. One thought nerves were cut, and the other thought it was the tube that damaged the vocal cord. It took several months to heal, and he was fine. My thought it was the breathing tube. Hang in there and think positive. I will be praying for you.
