Back from my first voice therapy appointment, which was quite interesting. After assessment, the doctor feels my vocal impairment is about mid-range on the damage scale. I have exercises - lots of exercises - to do on my own, some of which involve blowing bubbles through a straw into a cup of water.
I like the doctor very much. I will be seeing her about every week and a half through Thanksgiving. Fortunately, all future appointments can be done from home, virtually.
