We were watching that hurricane from here in Australia. Looked pretty extreme! Glad to hear that there was minimal damage for you.
My swallow still feels funny too. I think it is the 12 months of dysfunction affecting the muscles and general weakness in them after surgery. I have lost about an octave in my singing voice, highest range, so i suspect intubation and muscle issues as well. I am gaining about a note every couple of weeks a my muscles become stronger. And i absolutely get the bubble swallowing. Feels weird hey. I think SLP can help with that one, but i haven’t got to that point yet. I think we’re on the same path, you and I!
