Expressive Aphasia

I have a funny new phrase to share with everyone and you will be required to use it in a sentence this week, LMAO!  I will often start talking and my tongue doesn't always say what I want it to say or I won't be able to get out a specific word (due to scarring of the tissue in the tongue).  I was chatting with some people on the Scleroderma support site and we have collectively come up with a name for this phenomenon...Expressive Aphasia, LOL!  So next time we are chatting and I can't think of a word, or I can't get the word out of my mouth or I say it completely wrong....I will be blaming it on expressive aphasia.

On another note, I received official word today that my barium swallow test was totally normal however the Doc suspects that I did have some bacterial overgrowth.  I felt so much better after the Cipro and that is what is used to treat bacterial overgrowth.  So technically, if I had never had food poisoning then I never would have been treated for the bacterial overgrowth and could have ended up with something worse.  Blessing in disguise I suppose :)
