Doc said it went fine and he will have the results in the next couple of days.

For some reason on this go-around it knocked me on my tail. all tired out so i will take it easy for the rest of the day.

Here is what I posted last week under the Questions & Answers forum:

during my regular checkup, ENT doc told me that he saw a smoothness in the bottom of the "V" like section of my vocal cords. doesn't know if is attached to both sides. so back into the minor day surgery for me. if it is not attached to both sides he will whack it off. if it is attached to both sides, then he will just cut on one side and after it heals go back and cut the other side off. explained that if he cut both sides at the same time that they could fuse together during the heal process (not his exact words).

went on to discuss that this may be why i am not able to talk most of the time.

so once again will be on pins and needles awaiting the surgery and the results of the biopsy.

not going to drag it out. i expect the surgery in the next week or 2.

Glad that it went smoothly and hope you get the rest you need. Now comes the hard part - waiting. I wish they'd just put us into one of those chemically induced comas while we wait for results, awakening us right before the verdict. Sigh.

Good luck to you, get a lot of rest and let us know the outcome.
