My left vocal cord was found to be paralyzed from imaging in 10 day prior to surgery. After seeing an ENT, the Orthopedic Surgeon was cleared to go anterior (through front). Literally 15 min prior to being wheeled into OR, the Surgeon decided to go posterior. He did not want to risk damaging my right vocal cords. Knowing what I know, I would probably not gone through with it. Posterior Cervical Surgery is one of the top 5 most painful surgeries to recover from.

I know SBF is ruled out and the Neurologist kept saying she saw signs of early stage Parkinson. She has never bothered to contact me to discuss the Skin Biopsy results. I called up and asked for a the report to be placed in the portal. This was actually the 2nd attempt with skin biopsy. The first skin sample was rejected due to being sent to lab in an expired fixative (preserving solutioon). Sounds like we had similar Surgery. I will get back.later. I have a lot of horror stories from my 2 plus year ordeal.
