I’m so sorry, cattail. That is all so unfair. I hope they can find something that would assist in repairing it or something similar.

cattail, I am so sorry. I hope resources to help you deal with all of this are provided to you. That's just so much to deal with, and so much is still unknown for you and your doctors.

Thank you all for your kindness, addymac, piratecat, willow, jt2378, wedding, greykitty. chocolatecake, I tlhink his words were, we evaluate recovery after a year, as sometimes the chord repairs itself. Although because I am already 5 months in the chance of that is fairly slim. But for now they are going to do an MRI to rule out something. I hate Covid, cause trust me I needed someone else at this appointment with me. What they had to do to see my vocal chords was beyond belief. And then to have to listen to the doctor, it was just too much. But anyway, he said if after a year of no recovery there are other options, I assume surgery is what he was referring to. In the meantime I will be referred to voice therapy, the ENT said that they can do wonders with voice quality.
This feels like a cruel joke, if y'all knew me you would know one thing. I love to talk, it's a weird thing, but I especially love to talk on the phone. My entire career has revolved around verbal communication, and I literally have no idea what I am going to do for a living. This is a cruel joke.
Thanks for being here for me.

cattail I am so sorry that you are dealing with this It definitely does feel unfair. Oddly enough, a local children’s hospital made a post about vocal chord paralysis treatments today, and just wanted to pass it along in case it is helpful. www.chop.edu/treatments/recurrent-laryngeal-nerve-rln-reinnervationMaybe it can provide some hope that there may be things that can be done. Feel free to vent here anytime.
