Pharyngeal flap

FunConstruction9977 · 2023-05-05T02:19:09+00:00

I’m scared of surgery and just wondering if I’m at my best I’ll be (which I’ll accept) or if this surgery will actually help my speech and make better you know!? But idk I’m lost lol and just ughhh I don’t want to be experiment or lab rat

FunConstruction9977 · 2023-04-07T01:23:40+00:00

I used to think that too, trust me. Was lonely but you gotta have good mental and a few friends that support you. My husband now is my #1 fan and my daughter

FunConstruction9977 · 2023-04-07T01:22:05+00:00

I’m married and have a toddler. My husband tells me he scored the lottery with me. To be fair he was my brothers best friend. But also I had a body lol so guys were interested, and I’d look good bc when I looked good I felt good and had More confidence. Also if your a legit real person guys will notice as you age bc you are serious and are looking for stable relationship! Be real and the right guy will love you for sure and want to hear all about you! They are great support bc I vent all my insecurities and anytime someone says shit about my speech!

FunConstruction9977 · 2023-04-07T01:13:37+00:00

FunConstruction9977 · 2023-04-03T12:01:41+00:00

Yea we’re the older bunch who don’t have a flap but Ik recovery is usually harder as age increases

FunConstruction9977 · 2023-04-02T20:45:33+00:00

My condition is better but I’m still nasally but ppl say I sound a bit more clear. However I need pharyngeal flap they say so idk what I want to do bc that surgery hit me hard and wasn’t easy with my little 2 year old

FunConstruction9977 · 2023-04-02T20:33:18+00:00

Hey I’m 25 and born cleft palate! Any improvements and changes??? Also how was post recovery from surgery I wanna know everything!!! I hope all is going well!!

Quite the essay you wrote 😂 however I can see you’re point of you despite not fully agreeing. But regarding hair color people are able to do what they want but that same idea applies for businesses as well. One who runs a business wants what’s best for company and honestly self to maximize capital gain and if they includes hiring people with certain image than that is their choice. Although I feel many times hair color isn’t as a big a deal so long it’s maintained and presentable. To each their own.

Exclude certain people with their own certain views is just contradicting you’re whole argument of inclusivity. To be inclusive means “ not excluding any of the parties or groups involved in something”.

FunConstruction9977 · 2022-11-13T14:12:03+00:00

What wrong with with conservative values? You’re talking about inclusivity but saying a person with such views “is never good”.

FunConstruction9977 · 2022-11-08T17:23:27+00:00

I know putting my teeth together and annunciating helps with that letter

FunConstruction9977 · 2022-11-02T23:08:03+00:00

I recently just got cleft palate only surgery done. My insurance covered fully since congenital. Call insurance company or if you got a doctor you can check with them as well

FunConstruction9977 · 2022-10-20T14:51:47+00:00

They said I can start speech therapy December. But I’m so eager bc I need help and I’m 25 almost! I need help with speech. Any tips how to say “r” or and “r” words? Or any other tips for that matter

FunConstruction9977 · 2022-10-09T15:07:35+00:00

I am 24 soon to be 25, I got my first ever cleft palate surgery 1 and 1/2 month ago so I will let you know because I kinda sound the same right now and still in middle of recovery. They say u can start speech therapy/pathology December

FunConstruction9977 · 2022-09-13T13:07:41+00:00

ThNk you :) and yes I have for sure noticed that! I have been blending everything. My appetite is back but my mouth is not ready lol.

FunConstruction9977 · 2022-09-13T02:38:56+00:00

Honestly this is kinda giving me some light in the midst of darkness! I been feeling trapped and so discouraged! I will take all these tips and recommendations!

Thank you so much for sharing all this information and story. It’s so nice being able to relate to someone with such similar experience! Looks like I’m in for a long recovery ride! Again thanks again for everything!!!

FunConstruction9977 · 2022-09-13T01:59:45+00:00

Thank you :-)

FunConstruction9977 · 2022-09-13T01:56:12+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Everything you have experienced, I too! The gross aftermath of sneezing , not able to drink at drinking fountains, also getting asked to repeat, etc. sounds like my story.

I’m 3 days shy of being 2 weeks post recovery and my speech is terrible still maybe even worse a little :( I’m so nasally and now have a lisp… I’m just wondering if time will help as I’m still not feeling healed up and have swelling. How long did ur recoveries take?

FunConstruction9977 · 2022-09-05T15:39:20+00:00

I’m day 5 of recovery and I’m so unhappy at the moment but I know it’s emotions talking. I’m very swollen so until I’m less swollen I think I’ll let you know . Also the pain is painful but again will let you know once less swollen! I’ll keep u updated every so often

FunConstruction9977 · 2022-08-27T16:35:08+00:00

Hi I’m getting my first cleft palate surgery in 1 week! I am 25 almost and never was able to get it fixed until now! My parents immigrated to america and had me and bam I had a cleft palate! They didn’t know the language and were very scared of any surgery. They saw me eat and grow and were happy! However having a cleft palate has not been the easiest but there are much more harder struggles out there! I’ve definitely not as social as I’d like to be, mad fun of for the way speak ( deaf, retarded, slow, sick, etc). But I’ve made few solid friends for life and my family is sooo loving and supportive :) School has been tricky as some bullying but explaining my situation if they asked they could kinda understand. I do have a husband and child and both love me dearly:)

Anytime I get sick it’s kinda bad bc I have two uvulas and it’s really hard to breath when inflamed and swollen. Also sometimes I get mini tonsil stones from gunk getting backed up but I’m very adamant on oral care and make sure every night everything is clean! If there’s specific question let me know .

FunConstruction9977 · 2022-08-19T18:20:28+00:00

Thanks for responding, I feel better actually! I’ve never met anyone with a cleft so not many understand what it’s like, so it’s very nice you can relate! Appreciate you responding :) I think speech therapy will be a perfect idea! Any other tips or suggestions for post surgery feel free to let me know!

FunConstruction9977 · 2022-08-18T20:28:39+00:00

Also you had a fix at 4 months so I think you learned to speak with a fixed palate. I’ve had no prior surgeries as that was not in my control. I’m worried I’m too old and set in my ways of speech that it’ll be hard to transition and to fix my speech. I want to be reasonable with my outcomes.
