They Pulled the Cord!
It’s been a while since I dropped you a line. I last sent Christmas greetings and said Happy New Year! Well, I hope 2007 has turned out that way so far. While I’m at it, happy belated Easter, Passover, St. Patrick’s Day and you may have been somewhat festive for Groundhog Day!
The reason for the tardy update is because my appendix reached its expiration date and went KAPOW! That landed me in hospital for a couple of weeks. Even more disturbing was the timing. It happened immediately prior to the St. Patty’s Week (I’m Irish remember) celebrations. Many parties missed. A few tears shed. Oh well, I sacrificed one organ while protecting another.
Hospital stay – The Good: Lost 25 pounds (I’m sure I’ll find it eventually). The Bad(tied for first place): the pain & the food. The Ugly: my left vocal cord isn’t moving due to the viral infection. Nasty little twist of fate considering my vocation.
So, my voice comes and goes over the course of any given day. I’m currently in voice therapy with one of the top ENT specialists and speech pathologists to get the sucker moving again. I sound something like Clint Eastwood right now. I’ll let you know when the pipes are firing on all cylinders.
