Well on my way!

Jan. 31 -- Just nine days past surgery and Dr. Amin determines that I am 90% into my recovery and about two weeks ahead of schedule. He "scopes" me again (I'm starting to get used to this) and says "If I didn't do the surgery, I would never have known that you just had surgery a few days ago!" Now, maybe you think he's just complimenting himself and his skilled surgeon hands!!! But the fact is, I'm healing quickly.

Again, Dr. Amin spent time with me...as much time as I needed. I asked him for some more pictures (coming here soon). He was kind enough to download an entire video of my Jan. 8 exam (to see the video -- it's gross-- go back to the Jan. 8 post).

He said normally, he would want to see a surgery patient after another two weeks, but didn't need to see me for a month. I'd say that's a good sign of my progress!

Now vocal therapy...that's another story. I am learning how to talk all over again. Please, help me remember: speak slowly, breathe, open my mouth (:o), and relax my shoulders.

Updates coming soon.
