<< So, perhaps in your 2 incidents, the medications and the paralysis of the facial muscles could have caused a momentary sedation of the laryngeal and facial muscles, allowing for "fluent" speech. What are your thoughts on this hypothesis? Did you experience an overall relaxation? >> Well, I do recall feeling very relaxed in the hospital right after the brain aneurysm -- but I was on some pretty serious drugs at that time. Following the hot tub incident, I was far from relaxed -- I was frightened out of my mind -- so the "fluency" that second time is perhaps a bit more of a mystery. I think you're right though about the whole idea of momentary sedation of the laryngeal and facial muscles -- maybe I should learn how to do that on my own!
