I'm not saying your tongue was chaff, but that all you have gone through has brought home to you what is important to you at your core..in your case, it seems to be your family relationship that are at your core. Were they before all this happened? Can you truly say that their safety, their welfare, their love, was valued in the core of yourself so much that you had nightmares of such force? Bryan,

If anyone I know has an indomitable will, you do; and you will overcome. That said, I also have a totally silly reaction to this that I hope will amuse you. :) For years I have had anxiety dreams about having to protect Jack. I had one just the other night in which he was about to fall out of a window several stories up, and for some godforsaken reason I had to save him from the outside, and you know how fat he is, and . . . well, anyway. Silliness. I guess we all have moments when we fear we won't have what it takes when the occasion demands it, when those we love need us most. That's just human. Whatever your limitations, you are still smarter, more capable, and more determined than the vast majority of people blundering along in this world. You have convictions, and you have direction. I have every confidence that you will always find the strength you need when you really need it. Topher’s Gandhi quote sums up my reaction to this post just perfectly.

We will struggle and we will survive for we are one and we both know how stubborn we are! I love you soully!

I totally agree with the other 2 commenters, you are more than what you have lost to this stupid disease. The thing I love most about my husband is his humor. I believe we could get through just about anything, as long as I could see at least a glimmer of that still in him. I am praying for you every day.

Grieving what you have lost need not diminish your intention to be able to speak again, nor lessen your resolve to work toward your goals. Allowing yourself to grieve gives a person the time and place to acknowledge the pain of loss. Have you given yourself permission to grieve? Your dreaming sub-conscious may know that you need to grieve your loss before you can move on and get on with the business of keeping your family safe. Then again, I may have totally missed the mark. I wish you better dreams. I think that your dream is telling you that you might need to grieve for the loss of your old tongue, which was part of the man you were.
