FRIDAY UPDATE ON VOICE

[loggie]

HI EVERYBODY, WELL THIS MORNING WHEN I WOKE UP I STARTED TALKING AND IT SOUNDS LIKE ME.A LITTLE WEAK BUT NOT THE SQUEEKIE HIGH PITCH I HAVE HAD THE LAST 4 MONTHS.SHORTNESS OF BREATH IS BETTER AND I DIDN'T CHOKE ON ANYTHING TODAY.THANK GOD THEY DID THE EMG AND FOUND OUT THAT MY VOCAL CORD WASN'T PARALYZED.WHO EVER THOUGHT THAT YOUR VOCAL CORDS HAVE A JOINT.THE WAY THEY PUT IT BACK IN JOINT WAS THEY TOOK ME TO THE OR PUT ME TO SLEEP AND THE DOCTOR PUT HIS FINGER DOWN MY THROAT AND PUT THE VOCAL CORD BACK IN PLACE.THEY INJECTED THE CORD AND THE MUSCLE.IT WASN'T BOTOX I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS.I GO BACK WEDNESDAY AND I WILL FIND OUT AND LET YOU KNOW.

THE REASON I WAS HAVING SHORTNESS OF BREATH WAS BECAUSE MY RIGHT VOCAL CORD WAS BLOCKING HALF MY AIRWAY.I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT THE STAIRS.I HAD THE SAME FEELING WHEN I WALKED UP 2 FLIGHTS.I ALSO HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN WHEN I ROLLED MY TRASH CAN TO THE ROAD.I LEARNED IF I STOPPED HALF WAY FOR A MOMENT I WOULDN'T BE GASPING FOR AIR WHEN I GOT IT THERE.IT'S A BAD FEELING WHEN YOU CAN'T CATCH YOUR BREATH,IT'S NORMAL TO PANIC.

im glad your getting your voice back.i had tt aug 06 and suffered shortness of breath in fact one day i walked up 2 flights of stairs and when i got back down i was like someone having a panic attack i had to sit still for an hour and was really struggling to breath gasping for air like a fish out of water  docs didnt know what it was and it took months to get better i didnt know any one else had this problem so i feel for you having it that long im glad your doing ok perhaps when you go back they will let you know what caused it
good luck
