So sorry to hear about your grandma. I am sure she is in s good place being looked after. I have no experience of a trachetomy but wish you well for a fast recovery. Keep talking to her. Xx

They gave me a trachy and from what I have been told it saved my life I was fine with it, it doesn't cause any problems during or afterwards if they have to do let them it's in her interest x hope she recovers quickly
