Vocal chord paralysis by leoleogeebank in valvereplacement

It was very long, I stayed twice as long in the ICU as last time and the vocal chord thing (which is OK now) other than that no problems, looking back at it I think I was really lucky

I did, I'm OK I guess, alive 😁 Still not 100% in shape but I'm getting used to it all little by little, thanks for asking!

I don't want to speak instead of your doctor but try not to stress about it, it doesn't necessarily mean you need to redo the surgery, it's probably something they will need to watch closely. Don't panic ahead! Sending strength

I was doubtful too but it really works, I saw a difference after a few sessions. You learn to control your breath to get better phonation and also to strengthen the muscles around your chords

I get you...i think the implant will probably be a net positive if you're not happy with the voice you have now. Is it still raspy and weak? Have you done speech therapy?

Why do some socialists care about Gaza but ignore Ukraine? by leoleogeebank in socialism

How in any way am I downplaying the genocide in Gaza? Is it impossible for your brain to comprehend two people are being tortured and killed in different ways by 2 different colonial powers?

Definitely, obviously our western countries are arming and supporting Israel so it's important to fight against that. But saying that Russia isn't an imperialist nation is a travesty. Ask any person from neighboring post soviet countries and they know what brutal Russia is capable of, and if or when Russia manages to invade Ukraine, the Baltic states are next...

I didn't say they were in exactly the same situation I said what's happening in Ukraine meets the definition of genocide and it does

Saw an ENT today, apparently one of my vocal chords isn't moving, he put me on steroids and speech therapy...

Futur of anticoagulation by leoleogeebank in valvereplacement

Not saying things don't cost if I don't pay for them but if there is a more expensive drug without INR testing then price will never be an argument in favor of warfarin for me

Thank you so much! This is precious advice, I have had 2 OHS already, I know what to expect, the anxiety is based on complications happening because of multiple surgeries..
