Friday is a Big day: Voice & Swallowing Center appointment

I am going to the Voice & Swallowing Center at UCSF on Friday to test my laryngeal nerve function. Since it was damaged in surgery, I can not have the follow-up surgery to remove the rest of my thyroid until it is completely healed. I am quite sure that I will pass with flying colors because my voice is completely normal now but I do think that swallowing feels different since I have had the surgery. I don't know if that is really true or if I am just ultrasensitive. I will ask the experts on Friday. Also, I hear that the test will include sticking something down my throat and making me talk. I've also heard that it is not very pleasant but I will provide an update once it is done. I want to hurry up and schedule my next surgery for two reasons. One, I would like to not have cancer in my body anymore and two, my health insurance plan year ends at the end of June and I have already hit my out of pocket maximum. Wish me luck!
