I work in healthcare, speaking with patients, their families, other departments within the hospital, and with doctors’ offices all day long. On days when my stutter is mutating and defeating every fluency tactic with disdainful mockery, I just want to go to the bathroom and “scream silently” (I’ve done this before, and it is actually a fairly effective way to relieve neck/jaw/vocal cord tension). Plenty more “good days” though. I decided I wasn’t going to let that monster control my future. Nor should any of us. #StayStrong #WeHaveEachOthersBack #YouCanDoThis.
