Dr. Chikwe is a world-renowned heart valve surgeon that has performed thousands of heart valve operations that include minimally-invasive techniques.
Voice is still the same. Finished 4-weeks of speech therapy that was setup at hospital discharge. Seeing a laryngologist today. Fingers crossed!
The doctor "suspects" that there is now a hint of movement of my paralyzed left vocal cord though he is not certain. He wants me to wait a few more weeks ,since in their opinion, this is still early days for nerve injury recovery ( though it feels like forever for me). So, I am scheduled for a filler injection in 4 weeks if things don't improve.
I am a little more positive now after the visit, but I also don't want to be disappointed again if things don't improve (given my luck). So, trying to strike that balance on how I see things.
