A woman in the US is able to speak for the first time in 11 years after a pioneering voicebox transplant.
Brenda Jensen said the operation, which took place in California, was a miracle which had restored her life.Thirteen days after the surgery she said her first words: "Good morning, I want to go home."
It is the first time a voicebox and windpipe have been transplanted at the same time and only the second time a voice box has ever been transplanted.

When discussing ideas, we remembered a news article from the week before about a woman who recently recieved a voicebox transplant, and decided to add this to our plot.
