another post

I went to my ears , nose and throat doc yesterday and I was telling about my throat and how squeaky my voice is. He took his scope that he uses to look down in your throat , well in my throat he saw something..... Well when the surgeon was cutting my thyroid out he stretched a nerve near my right side vocal cord and now my right vocal cord is paralyzed.He wants to see me back in 2 months because it is to soon after the surgery to tell if it will stay that way. But if it does I have to a specialist and they will injection steroids or do a procedure that will help that vocal cord move. the concern the doc has that the left side is overcompensating for the right and it might tire out, and also I have to be careful when I drink or it and make sure it doesn't go down the wrong way, because liquid can get in my lungs and cause Penumonia, but he said that my airways sound clear and he is not worried about that until we have to. well that is my update for now and I will try to post some pics sometime.
