Sounds positive so far, Uptown! I heard there are different type of injectables, and some do it in the office, and some under sedation, I think as out patient. I wasn't how sure how mine would have been done. I thought I was getting by fine, and said so, but the colleague Dr who was interviewing me, testing my vocal range, asked if I was able to call out loud enough for help, if I needed, and I said no, so that made me think. My vocal cords were completely blocked too, besides the left paraylsis, from edema from two recent mouth surgeries, and the Dr, who was the director of the voice center, said it would be difficult to do. but he could do it, and had like 4 or 5 colleagues there showing the scope, and all, that I was happy to get out, and wound up being sent to SLP boot camp instead.

Maybe I'll have it done.
