I have had trouble w/ my speech where I was trying to get my words out. I have had 2 brain surgeries. I now know recently where my abnormality is via a new MRI. It is near my 3rd ventricle. I have other seizures, though. I hope it gets better for you.

i can't relate as in the i have been through it myself. i have not. what i do know is that it takes a while for all of the swelling to go completely away. there can be changes as the healing process continues. i would talk to the doc, and see what information you gain. with time the problems with your speech may resolve themself. hope it helps. rikk
