Mutism/Nonspeaking Awareness Flag

I, like many others, suffer from mutism due to a physical disability. Every flag I've seen for the nonspeaking and nonverbal community is based in autism and related issues, without representation for those of us who are nonspeaking for reasons such as being a cancer survivor, schizophrenia, muscle tension dysphonia, spasmodic dysphonia, aphrasia, brain damage, etc. and related conditions. There are a large variety of conditions that I rarely see representation for, and this flag is for us.

The white stripes represents hope for a more accepting future for nonspeaking and mute people.

The purple stripes represents entirely nonspeaking people.

The blue stripes represents AAC and sign language users.

The green stripes represents people with fluctuating levels of verbality.

The yellow stripe represents community and the way we have each other's backs in this struggle.

The symbol is a vague representation of the lack of a voice. I couldn't decide which one looked better so feel free to use either.

Something You Should Know About Me

It’s An Annoyance, But At Least I Can Talk After 6 Years  Of Battling Throat Cancer

[ranknfoul-blog]

Step 2 (clink, clink, clink, clink, clink)

The rollercoaster continues.

I got the x-rays done, no word on the flouride tray nonsense, but I needed so much work done just to be able to start murdering my cancer. To whit:

I needed the dental thing sorted out. Apparently, since my cancer was in my throat, I had to get any bad teeth yanked right the fuck out so they wouldn't cause problems down the road.

I needed something called a 'port' implanted surgically in my chest. At the time I was told this, I had no idea what the hell this entailed. I now know what the hell this entailed. You can Google it and spoil it, or you can just follow my journey and learn (like I did as I was going through it). The choice is yours.

I needed ANOTHER thing called a PEG tube (again, google it now or learn as I did): Basically, a self-administered feeding tube. It's like this: Tube going into your stomach, like 6 inches of tube outside of the 'ingress' into the stomach, end piece has a cap that you can remove and replace. At this time, this is all I knew about it. At this time (0h my GOD you poor sweet stupid 'past me' idiot), I was all arrogantly 'doubt I'll need it.'

Anyway, that's all in the future at this point. At this point, I somehow got my dental x-rays taken, but I needed more than what this dentist I went to (have I mentioned, dental insurance, in general, SUCKS?) and one of my oncologists sent me to the Oral Surgeon.

I won't sugar coat it. The nasal packs were FUCKING BRUTAL What happened with the Oral Surgeon was...only slightly less so, but was way more worrying. But none of that happened in the first meeting. This seems convoluted, but it will all come together, please bear with me (or don't, I'm not trying to sell books or anything and this is for me, if you don't like it then fuck all the way off).

TIL that Anne Ramsey, best known for her role in Throw Mama From The Train (1987), her slurred speech was due to operations for her throat cancer and was in pain during the whole production. She was nominated for an Oscar. Sadly she died of her throat cancer 6 months after the ceremony.
