Vocal cord update

I'm just back from the vocal cord do-hickey procedure. The GREAT news is that it seems to have relieved my most persistently annoying, stressful symptom... the cough.  I'm not coughing anymore and so breathing feels so much better.  Whew!

I have a pretty sore throat and currently I still have no voice.  Even the raspy Clint Eastwood voice is no longer in my vocal repertoire.  I've got a whisper and that's it.  But we will see what happens after a nap and some ibuprofen.  I just had surgery so we'll wait and see.  Dr. Winkle said he thought the procedure went well.  General anesthesia has me feeling groggy and so I must crash.

 More later.
