Remember my dad’s voice problem last year? / myLot

Some of you might remember around this time last year my dad had trouble with his voice after having six vertebrae in his neck replaced. He couldn’t communicate in more than a whisper, but after a shot to his vocal cords, his voice gradually came back completely. It took three months, but he fully recovered. He noticed at his brother/sister Valentine’s Day party when they started singing, he was having trouble. He has a speaking engagement the second week of March, but he may have to cancel if his appointment with his surgeon turns up any problems. The soonest he could get an appointment with him was March 4th. I guess we’ll see what they say.

I wonder why he is having problems now when he was fully recovered? Seems odd. Hope all goes well at the appointment.

I believe that was just last June he underwent that procedure. I hope that they are able to offer him a new solution.

@Juliaacv Yes, I think that’s exactly what it was, him singing.

It was early March, and I only remember that because during my birthday dinner he was in so much pain, but he kept saying less than a week it would all be over. But it was close to June when he was able to preach again.

@AmbiePam I must be thinking of the time that he sang for the first time. I hope that he doesn't give up hope, many would.

I do hope there isn't a recurrence of his problem. Sometimes you have to wait a long time for an appointment.

Yes, you’re right. I was shocked he got in March fifth. I had to change my cardiologist appointment from earlier this month, and the next time they could get me in was June, so his upcoming appointment surprised me on how soon it was. I know cardiologists are more in demand, but still, any specialist is usually hard to schedule.

@AmbiePam We have had hassles trying to get Vince's appointment with the heart surgeon but we have one now for March 13.
