Morning all, just about feeling a little with it. Operation went well but one of my vocal cords was paralysed during the op it so I can't talk, they say there are a couple of things they can do to hopefully bring it back! Had a bad infection and have been on 3 different types of antibiotics was overdosed on oxygen as they didn't take into account buy COPD! Finally on the road to recovery and with a bit of luck will soon be out of hospital.

I will do Ruby, thank you x
Morning Jan, glad op went well, you really have been through the mill, hope they get your vocal cords sorted, and you get out of hospital soon.
Love and hugs,
Christine. XXXX
Glad to hear from you. Well done and I best wishes for your recovery and I hope your vocal cord can be sorted. Take carexxxx
Hi jan pleased as I'm sure you are that the operation went well, take it easy and get your self well and on the way home soon, Sally xx
Thank you Sally x
Hi Jan, it"s good to hear the operation went well and I hope that it makes a huge difference to your breathing, once you start getting stronger. xx
Hi Jan, hope all goes well and you will be feeling stronger day by day and that your voice returns to normal very soon.
So glad to find you are now on the other side of the operation. You know you are the 3rd person I have heard who has had a vocal chord messed with in an operation. One young girl had a throat op and they did something to the vocal chord and a friend who had an operation on her shoulder had a problem too. Both are fine now so am sure you will be too. Hope they can sort it all out for you.
Well you will be an expert on antibiotics by the end of all this! Anyway they should help to get you better soon. You know I often think when having an asthma attack there is no way you could possibly overdose on oxygen - but you can overdose on anything.
Hope everything goes well now and you are soon home.
Take good care of yourself and keep taking the tablets - like you have a choice! Ha ha ha!
Lots of love and big hugs to you Jan.
So very glad to hear from you.

Thank you Sian, hope all is going well for you. (((Hugs))) form Jan xxxx
The vocal cords can be irritated by the breathing tube, which is inserted after you are asleep, to allow passing of gasses. It is quite a common thing for the cords to be a bit inflamed. Good Luck with your recovery overall, and your vocal cords in particular. x
ENT have had the camera upmy nose down into the throat and the left vocal cord is paralysed. Jan x
Oh Jan! Does that mean it will get better or not? Hope it will.
Love and hugs

They don't know but will not do anything for 6 months they would rather wait to see if it comes back on its own it could take upto 2 years if it does come back. There is an operation they can do but not till after the 6 months. Jan xx
Hope you continue to make progress and that soon you will be able to shout it from the roof tops.
Love Dozy ☺ 🐀 xx
ABSOLUTELY ! Dozy well said!
It's good to see you posting Jan. You sound in good spirits. Here's to a good speedy recovery.
When your voice returns no shouting for a while.
Love Suzyxxx
I'm glad the main part of the op went well. Please keep us informed of your progress.
Wishing you a speedy recovery
Hi Jan so glad your operation is done, and you're now on the road to recovery . I have my op on Tuesday so any tips welcome. Hope your vocal chords sort themselves out and you go from strength to strength
Sending lot's of love Tasha, xx
Hi Tasha, thank you. What are you having done? Sending love and hugs Jan xxxxx
Pretty much the same as you I think removal of upper left lobe and 5.2 cm tumour what have I got in store? X
Yes Jan I have been warned it's painful, hope you are now over the worst and will soon be home. I was told at the hospital that only 18 percent of lung cancer is diagnose while it's operable, so although I have a long way to go I count my blessings every day. I'm 52 and I think the GPs didnt really consider cancer for a while . Sending lot's of love for a speedy recovery

Hi Tasha, I am home from hospital now was in 8 days. Each day now I feel improvement, today I have the clips taken out of my wound, OUCH!. I think to expect the worse then it a bonus when it's not so bad as you first thought. Also I know it's hard but relax your body it makes things easier.
Love and hugs Jan xxxx keep us informed how you are progressing xxxxx
