I have surgery on my throat scheduled for Nov. 20th.
I have scar tissue still on my trachea from when I was little & was intubated for a week.
The ENT I saw last month thought it might be some of what is obstructing my breathing & FEELS like asthma to me.
I almost danced at the thought of being able to BREATHE normally for the first time in my life.
BUT…….there is one TINY drawback.
So simple to solve really (yeah, right!)
I can’t talk following surgery for 48 hours!!!!
(Bet I’ll be blogging up a storm, though, don’t you?!?!)
I am slightly nervous that they will be so close to my vocal chords,

so if you could pray for me regarding that aspect of surgery,
I would appreciate it!

Will definitely be praying for you Kim with your surgery.
Not talking would drive me crazy too!!! But at least you can still type and blog!
Take care,
Anna
Oh Kim, HOW WONDERFUL CAN THAT BE!
Will keep you in prayer, and yes "BLOG" on girl for those 48 hours of silence.
By the way check your email from me and about my new blog!
Love, Pam
I wish you well with your surgery! My husband must have something similar... ever since his surgery (years ago) he has a cough after eating, it last about 1/2 hour. We think it must be scar tissue, but have never looked into it. Sorry to go on...
No problem, Daphne!
Glad to hear other people survive! I just hope I can still sing!
Wow Kim! That is exciting and a little nerve wracking. I wish you well on your no talking voyage.
