Don't try to do this during the holiday season! Crazy schedules caused us to lose some time in this process, but I finally had a chance to meet with Dr. Lazarus for voice evaluation.
The day I went into the city was crazy! A train had jumped the tracks in Norwalk and the entire New Haven line was disrupted. I had to drive to South Norwalk station to catch a train and arrived at GCT just minutes before my scheduled appointment at NYU. Meanwhile, the forecast was for severe ice and sleet later in the day. In all, a real fun day in New York!
In any case, it was a pleasure to meet Dr. Lazarus. She had me do a number of vocal exercises and it turns out, I have a couple of speech problems. First, I speak way too fast and try to squeeze too much in before taking a breath. And second, I do not breathe deep enough.
We went through a battery of tests where the doctor asked me to speak into a microphone and the results came up on a screen in front of us.
She was very positive and assured me that my voice problems could definitely be cured through good speech therapy. I felt very positive when I left the appointment, knowing that there was always hope that I could learn to speak around my cyst.
I did not, however, feel positive about the sleet storm that was bearing down on the city.
