Larengectomy

Hi folks just a wee update to my last thread about eating or speaking  I spoke on here at the start of June about the options I had concerning  food and water going into my lungs and the option I was given were  be fitted with a peg in my stomach  or have a larengectomy and lose my voice but will be able to eat properly again without  coughing and spluttering and having to regurgitate  every mouthful I opted for the larengectomy which was done on 9/6/2023, as of yet I have not been able to eat or drink due to an infection in my throat/neck but Dr is confident it will happen soon, as for my voice.... I really don't miss it all I do now is point to the guiness tap instead of asking for it.I have no regrets in the choice I made and hopefully  this is my very last surgery around my neck area as my head will soon flop to the side                       Loch
