I can speak!!


I saw a laryngologist yesterday, and I do NOT have vocal nodes and am allowed to speak again! My month of silence is over. Phew! I do have strained vocal chords and need voice therapy plus some acid reflux meds, but this is great news. I can do podcasts and gigs and have conversations again! I can be understood! Goodbye, flash cards.


Hmm, just realized that maybe it was all that talking that got me here. I'll take it a bit easy until the vocal therapy, but this is still great news.

Good to hear (no pun intended). Maybe next time we meet in Union Square we can chat.

Funny, they keep trying to get me to take the acid reflux meds for the symptoms that show up on the scope, but that I don't actually feel. So that might be part of why I lose my voice so easily? I need to actually listen to them and take the meds to see if it will help? Interesting!

Thanks for sharing the news - as a fellow sufferer, it is an exciting moment. I can't WAIT to hear the podcasts and other goodness now! (Go slowly though!)

Great news! That was a scare. Now you get to the business of podcasting and making us laugh again.
