Lisa ....

Your signature says you have had many things going on post-op ...... I'd start with those issues most troublesome:  are they going to get any better, can I do anything else to speed the recovery, etc.

Best wishes for new answers ...... sometimes just a new perspective is helpful.

Hi Lisa:  You might want to ask about vocal chord/taste involvement, etc; like Clarice said, 'most troublesome' post surgery symptoms.
Always good thoughts,  Nancy
