Yesterday, I needed to film YouTube videos. I was going through my regular routine of setting up my room and changing into a nice top. When I took off my shirt, my bulky HME got caught in my shirt. The HME pulled on my tracheostomy tube. The tracheostomy tube came out a little ways. My tracheostomy tube then got stuck in my trachea.

I tried and tried to get my tracheostomy tube back into the correct position, but it would not move. Finally, after using a lot of force, the tracheostomy tube slid back in.
Oh, how my trachea burned! I am pretty sure the incident caused damage to my trachea. My trachea was very sore for the rest of the day.
Moreover, my voice was quite weak. I managed to film my YouTube videos, but my voice was not a very good quality.
Today, my trachea is still very tender, and my voice is hoarse. I hope my trachea heals over the next week before I need to film more YouTube videos.
