Kendall, having undergone your surgery (Thank God for that!), is there no hope of re-kindling your voice? Have you met or heard of anyone who had the same surgery but retained or regained the timbre?

Keep in mind that those who care about you, sad as it is that you can no longer sing, consider that a very small price to pay for having you around. I'm sure that doesn't help - but at least keep it in the equation.
