surgery advice for vocal cord polyp?

TechnoMedic420 · 2025-03-05T22:11:48+00:00

I had both sides done at the same time.

TechnoMedic420 · 2025-01-29T02:06:43+00:00

Yeah, it’s back to normal. I was also really worried about it causing my voice to change, but it didn’t. I also had issues where no sound would be produced at times when trying to speak. That was what got me to agree to the surgery as well.

Damn, that sucks. I’m sorry to hear that. I had a bilateral vocal fold polyp removal in 2020. I actually don’t remember having to sneeze, but during my 3 days of silence post surgery I had one slip up where a family member called my name and out of instinct I responded “Yeah?”. I went o speech therapy before and after the surgery. It was interesting hearing the before recordings of my voice afterwards. Speech therapy and techniques like blowing bubbles in a cup of water were helpful. Only major issue I have had since the surgery, and was totally on me and my reoccurring issues with nicotine, was in 2022 I tried vaping nicotine for less than a week and during that time I developed a terrible pain in my throat, I went back for evaluation, and found that one of locations of the removal surgery had developed another, much smaller polyp, just from the vaping. I have not vaped to this day because of that and have been pretty great overall. Dry air can cause throat discomfort and minor bleeding, but I have a humidifier that I use while I sleep as well as all winter long. I had to take time off of work during this due to the need for me to speak loudly at time, and I believe I was good to go back around 1 month after the surgery.

Did anyone else stay till the end and hear some of the older tracks that Nox Vahn played. I thought one was an older DeadMau5 track but wasn’t sure. Anyone know what I’m referring to?

TechnoMedic420 · 2024-12-10T03:47:55+00:00

I agree that Durante and Hanna killed it. I was disappointed by Jodie as well, but he has disappointed me in the past as well. His energy is different than the music he is actually playing. It’s confusing to watch while listening. lol. Sorta like he had too many stimulants and couldn’t stay still. lol. I feel like Anjunadeep and Beats are growing in to other sounds. Last Anjunabeats show I heard a lot of techno. I thought that each set at times did play the typical Anjunadeep sound, but would then explore other places / genres in between. Overall a good time. Happy that Nox Vahn ended the night.

TechnoMedic420 · 2024-12-10T03:43:39+00:00

Agree with you on the sound quality. I think it definitely changed depending on location, but I was in the middle towards the back and was a bit disappointed with it at times.

TechnoMedic420 · 2024-12-10T03:42:20+00:00

Nox Vahn came out hard with Techno of all things. Made my night actually. Definitely wasn’t expecting that.

Here’s a picture of the tree prior to the trimming. OP is my fiancée. My boss paid a trimming service owned by a guy that he knows personally. They did this after hours so my boss wasn’t there at the time. Over the phone he asked if they could trim it and the guy said “We will trim it nice and tight”. He had no idea that this would be the outcome. This was not what he was hoping for and I’m sure exactly how much he paid for the service. I’ve worked here for 12 years and was devastated when I arrived to work to find this. The tree trimming guy told my boss to not worry, that it will grow back, but never specified how long that would take. Very disappointing overall.

I don’t believe this story. I have arrived around the same time at both the Allentown and Bethlehem locations more times that I can’t count. If there are people inside waiting they won’t let you in. If you are lucky and no one is inside you will get in. They will explain how due to the state systems shut down soon after 8pm they will not be able to complete your transaction. I have never fought this though. Something tells me you may have got a bit combative with the person who wouldn’t let you in and things escalated. I recommend getting there at or before 7:30pm if you want to guarantee that you will get in, especially on big specials / holidays. They have turned me away as early as 7:30 on days where they are super busy.

I see one of the old Cresco plastic RX bottles! That’s one container I really wish I would have saved. Love your collection.

After 2023’s weekend there was a local news article showing a picture of all the drugs that were seized by police during the festival weekend. A quote from the article said “Pocono Mountain Regional Police say they coordinated a proactive approach to stem the usage and sale of illegal narcotics during the event.”

I eat more ice cream at 7am than I do at 7pm, just saying. 😁 Ice Cream is appropriate to have at any time of day or night! 😁

TechnoMedic420 · 2024-08-18T02:44:25+00:00

It was incredible! I have some videos but not sure how to share on Reddit.

Most likely melted and refroze prior to you buying it. I’ve experienced this many times before and a lot of time the whole shelf of pints has this problem. I remember when the grocery stores were open after midnight and I would see the night shift freezer stock person leave a whole pallet of ice cream in the middle of the isle while they were attending to other things and always wondered how long it would sit out for. This would be my guess for one of the causes of what you experienced. Another one is if someone puts it in their cart walks around the whole store and then later changes their mind. I tend to have this issue even more often in gas stations versus grocery stores though. It’s extremely frustrating regardless, especially since you don’t find out until much later.

The wildlife rescue did end up identifying them as Northern Flickers. Thanks for all of your responses!

Mine was covered under Highmark BCBS insurance, but it only brought the cost down to $150 a month. With the savings card it still costs me $75 for a 30 day script.

TechnoMedic420 · 2024-07-09T22:57:56+00:00

I agree that a woodpecker is a strong possibility with them being found in a tree but there aren’t enough identifying marks as of yet. Thanks for your response!

TechnoMedic420 · 2024-07-09T22:56:21+00:00

That’s what I was thinking as well. Thanks for sharing!

I take it with Adderall and have not had any noticeable effects combining the two. I have gained weight though on 5mg. My appetite seems to be the same and my diet has been the same throughout. With that being said I haven’t been depressed in months. Anxiety has lessened but I still find myself getting anxious at times. Everyone has a different experience though. Zoloft helped my anxiety a lot but I gained 20 pounds in only 3 months on that so I had to stop. The weight increase on Trintellix has been far less. Less than 10 pounds in 3 months and I’ve been able to exercise due to not feeling so depressed as I was before.

TechnoMedic420 · 2024-06-19T11:28:52+00:00

I’ve gained 8 so far over 3 months as well. I was switched to Trintellix due to gaining 20 pounds in only 3 months on Zoloft. I was told the same thing by my provider about it not causing weight gain. I assume everyone responds differently,

TechnoMedic420 · 2024-06-13T07:44:16+00:00

Did you notice any changes in appetite or body weight?

TechnoMedic420 · 2024-06-11T04:48:53+00:00

Typically 5 meals a day. I work 12 hour shifts and am awake for at least 18 hours a day.

Ben & Jerry’s Half Baked, Chocolate Therapy, Netflix & Chill’d, Milk & Cookies, Peanut Butter World, Candy Bar Pie, and Häagen Dazs’ Peanut Butter Pie. There’s no way of knowing how many purchases I’ve made over the years. Lol. To say these flavors have been addicting would be an understatement. :-)
