So it turned out that I don’t have tonsillitis at all but I do have a problem with my vocal cords. It seems you can’t not sing for twenty years and then rush right out and record an album. You can get blisters on your vocal cords just like you can on your feet. The doctor told me not to talk for four days. That was interesting. I used a pad and pencil to communicate. The funny part was when I would write something down and then hand it to a person and instead of just saying their reply they would write it on the pad and hand it back to me. I’m not supposed to laugh right now either but that made it hard. Next week I start going to a speech pathologist and the path to recovery will begin.
This is just another challenge in a life filled with them. Not to worry I’ve never let these little setbacks get in my way. This has just given me some time to work on writing some of my motivational talks and the book. At the same time, Erich Benedict of with an H media has started laying down the music for the Christmas album and we’ve completed part two of our To Chase a Dream video series. If you haven’t see part one the link is below and I’ll post part two next week.
In the mean time I’m getting to spend some time at the lake with the family and my wife has told me I’ve never been easier to talk to. She’s a funny lady.
