Fortunately, I was able to get 2 very important phone calls done before the noise started:  one to the dentist about the tooth I broke last night and the other to the orthopedist about the tendonitis that has flared up in my left leg.  I see the dentist tomorrow and the ortho on Wednesday.  Just what I needed this week...

I had a wait of arpound 30 minutes till I was called, and a nice lady named Alexis got a wheelchair and took me to x-ray. The technician was the same nice lady I saw in March. I was twisted, turned, and then laid down for the x-rays and then Alexis wheeled me back to the waiting room. My doctor had requested a CD of them, so I had to wairt for that to arrive before my second freight elevator ride.

And I had two very nice taxi drivers, so it all went quite well. And no anxiety or panic attacks.

We had BLTs for dinner and I think I bit down wrong on some crispy bacon.

My medical appointment this morning was interesting.

They sprayed a numbing agent up my nose, then inserted a scope which snaked down until the doctor was able to see my vocal folds. I decided to watch along on the screen - I mean, why not?  It was a bit unpleasant; like an extended COVID test.

In any case, the good news is: no tumors, abrasions, swelling, or other impediments on my vocal cords. They're moving fine. So no surgery required.

The doctor is recommending vocal therapy, with which she has seen positive results. This is hospital-based. Probably a minimum of 4 sessions, and exercises to do at home, of course. So they'll schedule that. I wonder if it will be a ruinous cost.

Anyway, I'm relieved that it's nothing more serious.

DR Jrand70, I'm sorry that JOSEPH is dormant for now, but I think having auditions in 2022 would be a good idea.

DR Jane I mostly bike on bike paths. And I have the problem of people who like to walk on them.  Sorry but if there is a sidewalk then use it. And if you are walking on a bike path then be aware when a bike is coming AND MOVE.
