Members gpaaib Posted March 10, 2016 Members Share Posted March 10, 2016 A couple of years ago during surgery, there were complications and as a result of it I was put on a ventilator. After a couple of months the Tracheostomy tube was successfully removed but left me with a low end, gravelly, and extremely weak voice. I know, at first one might think, wow, a blues voice. No mine is more like Ozzy straining his voice and drinking for 2 days straight, only another register lower. Does anyone have any coaching experience in this area? Is it even possible to get my voice back? Any thoughts and/or suggestions would be truly appreciated. Thanks,Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gpaaib Posted March 10, 2016 Author Members Share Posted March 10, 2016 Hope you mean otomy. Sorry for my ignorance. The surgeon referred to it as simply a "Trach". I'm going to have to get in touch with him. I will also have to do a little research for the difference. Regardless, I'm hoping my voice isn't like this forever. Thanks for making me aware of this.

Members 1001gear Posted March 10, 2016 Members Share Posted March 10, 2016 No problem. A tracheotomy I believe is a surgical incision in your throat. An "ostomy" as I understand it is something like complete removal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
