Keeping a Voice While Losing My Speech
By Marilyn Maltby, person with PPAOS
I’ve been journaling my journey through primary progressive aphasia and apraxia (PPAOS). I used the journal to write a memoir. The memoir resulted in this blog: keepingavoicewhilelosingmyspeech.blogspot.com
This blog is the way I’m keeping a ‘Voice’ while talking is very difficult. I had been diagnosed with non-fluent PPA in 2021, re-diagnosed with PPAOS (primary progressive apraxia of speech) in 2023 at Mayo Clinic. I am a life-long learner, botanical artist, Master Naturalist, birder, citizen scientist, and gardener. I have been part of MnCAN since 2022.
