Anyone notice a terrible decline in speech after PEG procedure?
My husband's speech has declined rapidly since he came home after having this done. I could pretty much understand him most of the time. Now it really is becoming very difficult to decipher what he is saying. This has happened in a matter of 2-3 weeks. Our son is usually good about getting what he says, but now looks at me with the :?:
Of course, I'm not the only one that has noticed this. Friends of his are shocked at the change, so I know I'm not hard of hearing! LOL
This is adding a LOT of frustration to the tube routine, as I cannot understand what he is trying to tell me. I don't know which is worse - his getting angry or his getting silly about the whole thing and freaking me out! His emotional lability is not in check right now either! Use your imagination...or not.
