I am a singer … this is a complete nightmare for me!! I’m terrified one ‘slip’ & my career is OVER I’ve been in the profession for more than 40 years … it’s all I know .. even ( as my surgeon said ) a 1% risk of damage to the vocal chords is too much for me … you are much younger than me … of course your car wild heal like that in 4 weeks . My voice is my essence , my heart my MONEY! I’m due to go in your this Autumn … this is probably the last one I’ll do before Surgery … who knows if I’ll be able to return to full vocal capacity …

Heartening that they only removed one and that you are feeling great! (I am assuming you still do years later). I have scheduled appointments with an endocrinologist and a ent guy. So hopefully on the road to recovery soon. My symptoms are not terrible- maybe brain fogginess and some bone aches but nothing I would have ever attributed to something serious. So, yes- thanks doctors! Yours sounds like a hoot.
