What a day on Monday. I should have posted before now, but it’s been a whirlwind couple days.
Monday morning, Mark took me to the doctor for my 1-week post surgery follow up. We waited for nearly 2 hours to see the doctor (grrrr….). When they finally scoped me, Mark and I freaked out a bit. My vocal cords were swollen and there were big white gobs all over them (I know, totally gross). But, the doctor told us it looked great and that the white stuff was just some of the collagen bulging out and would go away over time. They also said I could come off complete vocal rest and go to moderate vocal rest—I am supposed to speak 1 minute every 10 minutes for a total of 5-6 minutes per hour. I still can’t lift anything over 10 lbs for 5 more weeks–which has proved nearly impossible in daily life with a 2 year old. But, at least I can try to speak—I say “try” because my voice is HORRIBLE. Apparently, it could be garbled and bad for up to 4 weeks. I really sound pathetic. I’m barely audible. Nice.

I am glad that you are on the mend, but know how frustrated you must be. That is so funny about the women in tutu’s!
What a sweet thing for Michelle to do~
