My stroke was over 11 years ago, and though my cognitive skills are sharp and my stress is low, my aphasia is slipping slightly. Should I be worried and anything to do to keep the aphasia level from dropping?

Hi Joyce
I find that if I am fatigued, my aphasia tends to be effected, my word finding ability deteriorates and slurring occurs.
I don’t think it should be anything to concern yourself about, gets some rest and perhaps monitor it over a lengthy period and if it worsens, see a therapist.
Regards
George
