I HAVE BEEN READING POST ON THIS FORUM ALMOST EVERYDAY SINCE I FOUND IT AND GOT SUCH GOOD CARING ADVICE AND UNDERSTANDING. I DID READ ONE FROM A LADY NAMED MISSY, THAT LOST THE WEIGHT AND STILL HAD TO KEEP HER TRACH, SO FAR I HAVE SEEN ONLY ONE PERSONE ON HERE THAT SAID THAT THE HAVE EVER HAD THE TRACH TAKEN OUT OR EVER WILL. CAN I HEAR FROM MORE THAN ONE PERSON THAT GOT THEIR TRACH TAKEN OUT OR EVER WILL BE ABLE TO. I HAVE ALSO READ A FEW POST ABOT PEOPLE THAT WERE ABLE TO SPEAK NORMAL BY PLACING THEIR FINGER OVER THEIR TRACH, I DON'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT, IS THERE A SPECIAL WAY OF DOING IT, OR CAN I JUST FORGET IT BECAUSE I HAVE SUCH A LARGE TRACH? I HAVE ALSO READ OF A DIVICE THAT CAN BE PUT ON THE TRACH SO YOU CAN BE ABLE TO SPEAK, CAN ANYONE TELL ME MUCH ABOUT THAT? THE POST IF HAVE READ, IT DIDN'T SEEM AS IF NOST PEOPLE HAD GOOD LUCK WITH THE SPEAKING VALVE EITHER CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY? I NEED ALL THE HELP I CAN GET I AM FAT TO THE POINT IT IS HARD TO WALK AND HAVE NO FRIENDS AND SPEND MOST OF MY TIME IN BED BECAUSE I JUST DON'T HAVE THE ENERGY TO GET OUT, NOW I HAVE A BIG UGLY TUBE STICKING OUT OF MY NECK TIED WITH A PRETTY WHITE TRACH HOLDER, HAHA, THAT I HAVE TO KEEP 4 INCH DRESSING ON TWO THICK AND EVEN CHANGING THEM SEVERAL TIMES A DAY, THEY STILL HAVE A VERY BAD SMELL AND LOOK AS IF SOMEONE BLEW THEIR NOSE ON THEM. PLEASE AT THIS POINT I'LL TRY ANYTHING. ANOTHER THING IS IT NORMAL FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO FEEL IT, ON THE INSIDE BECAUSE I DO AND IT EVEN HURTS TO TURN MY HEAD A CERTAIN WAY?
