Subject: RE: Help: Rehab after surgery
Don, from what you've said, I would imagine your voice would be unchanged or better. If there are any voice problems after you're healed, ask your doc to refer you to a speech pathologist who specializes in voice rehabilitation--but I doubt it will be necessary. Get plenty of rest, drink plenty of water, take vitamin C, and, as kat says, be patient. You might also consider taking a few minutes several times a day to imagine or visualize your ears, nose, and throat as fully healed. Get a strong mental picture of yourself as whole and healthy, and keep it in mind often. It really does help!

Aloha,
Mark
