OT: Vocal cord surgery tomorrow!!

I am so happy that the day is finally here!! ~:o) I am going for Vocal Cord surgery @ 8:30 am on Thursday 1/8/09!! I have been dealing with hoarseness for over a year now and hopefully this will solve the problem. See there is a cyst on my cord on one side and there are blood vessels on the outer covering. When they vibrate with the cord on the opposite side it could cause them to bleed. Because of this cyst it does not allow them to close properly and I get very winded when having conversations!! Extremely annoying! My DH has taken off until next Monday and DMIL will have the kids till Sat. Unfortunately, my son will miss school on Friday. Small price to pay to get my voice back!!! Oh did I mention that I cannot talk for 3 DAYS!! I think that will be the hardest part of this ordeal! Blessings to all, Dorothy in NY

Dorothy,

Good luck with the surgery. Not talking for three days would be a dream come true for my children. They never seem to hear me anyway.
