@courtelizz1: Eight years ago, brain cancer changed everything. I lost my speech and had to relearn how to communicate from scratch. It was exhausting and humbling—but I never gave up. I still have speech struggles today, like you see here, and instead of hiding them, I laugh and keep living. #brainsurgery #cancerawareness #aphasia #aphasiaawareness
Speech is so fascinating. The phrases that are in your own vocabulary and aren’t deliberate come out smoothly, but producing phrases from the prompt don’t. Some people have the opposite aphasia and can only produce speech when they’re repeating or reading, but fluent speech is jumbled or delayed. The brain is wild!

This is insane to me. Its like being reverted to childhood. Your brain knows what it wants to say but your mouth cant say it. Absolutely wild.

I feel like this is when you have a specific migraine when it’s bad you speak like this and your thoughts are jumbled :(
