    You are a living example of -
    It's not what it is . It all about how you look at it.
    Thank-you

    Very well explained. As a total Laryngectomy this was great as a lot of medical people don't know the difference

    Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. It is so hard to get nurses in the hospital to understand my husband’s unique breathing. I plan on writing out this link and giving it to the nurses who don’t understand the difference between a Total neck breather and a trach breather. Thank you and God Bless.

      Thank you for sharing some of your story with me. I am so sorry it has been a challenge for people to understand your husband's breathing. Thank you for all your kindness. All my best to you and your husband.

    Hi lovely vent lady🌹yet another interesting video,until you get a trach & being on a ventilator you don't know how hard it is to speak,you have to work with the machine,when I was 20 the ventilators were big & bulky,in fact some people were still using an iron lung due to polio! I get flashbacks of not moving,my neck was in a brace & machine breathing for me,and just looking at 4 walls & a ceiling!
    When I am out & wearing my KAFO leg brace,mostly I leave the knee locked,but you get young children asking usually their mother what is on that man's leg & why does he walk with a stiff leg,usually the mums tell the child to be quiet or just say I have a poorly leg! I would rather they ask why I wear the brace! It must be like when your out & children,even adults stare at the tubing coming from your neck & wonder what it does! As I said many times you always have a smile a mile wide,just when things look bad for you god finds a way like he did getting you the operation to remove the cyst! It lovely you have so many subscribers all over the world! I don't think you realise how much help your video's can be! I thought I had found your video's by accident as I was not looking for people with trachs etc,just deaf people & those with full time catheters like me,but God had his reasons,it was to jog my memory of being on life support after an accident which left me with gaps in my long term memory! And watching each new video makes me remember a few more things! Waking up from an induced coma is hard at any age,but to have this thing in my throat & a machine breathing for me was a shock which I must have blanked out all these years! God bless you vent lady for all your kindness & I pray your feeling better & your dad's sight is doing ok 💗💗💗

      Hello. Thank you for your message. If anyone stares at me, it is from curiosity. They quickly look away. The people who look the longest at me or ask me questions are usually nurses. One time, a nurse stopped me in a parking lot. She was wondering how my ventilator operated. I told her it had a battery. The nurse was impressed they have batteries for ventilators. Thank you for all your prayers. I really appreciate them.

    Can you keep a dog after total laryngectomy? Considering the hair and the stoma?

    did you have to do speech therapy to help you speek after the device was placed

    • @LifewithaVent
      @LifewithaVent  Рік тому

      I did not do speech therapy. If you would like to know what I did to learn how to speak after getting a trach, plese watch the following video: ua-cam.com/video/FSL57g7iIN8/v-deo.html

    Can my grandpa speak again if we use laryngectomy tube?

    • @LifewithaVent

      That is a great question. Please ask your grandpa's medical team as they would best be able to answer this question.

    Because toddlers cry and annoy everyone, can't we just laryngectomize them all? It's just like surgically debarking a dog.
