Hi Daisy, Deena, I am doing well. My voice has almost returned to normal for all practical purposes. At the Laryngologist visit couple of weeks ago, my vocal cords were moving significantly though there is some sluggishness. The ENT has said that I don't need any intervention at this point...

Good to hear you're going in the right direction. 🙏🏼 My heart rate is around 70. When I had an ablation a couple of years ago for Afib, my heart rate was high in the 90-100's for a couple of weeks. Normal but disturbing. I was expecting it to be... Read more.

Hi Daisy and Deena -Recovery is going very well. My stamina is pretty good. Still limiting exercise to walking since surgeon wanted me to do only walking for 6 weeks, but I certainly feel capable of starting some more vigorous exercise, but will hold off for another week :) Voice... Read more.

Thanks for the update, divya. Getting there and hopefully you can enter cardiac rehab soon. Makes a big difference, physically and mentally. I did a bit of reading re: laryngeal nerve being injured. Were the physicians able to tell you if it was a partial tear or more than that?... Read more.

Thanks Daisy, Valerie, Deena. Appreciate your thoughts and prayers ❤️. Laryngologist visit yesterday made me hopeful. They think my swallowing issue is resolved and that my throat is able to not have a gap while swallowing. So that's a big relief about not having to worry about pneumonia. The doctor... Read more.
