I had a successful procedure at Mayo in early August. Dr Ekbom injected Restilyn(sp) in my left vocal cord and after about 10 days my voice was back at about *80% or better, my chocking was almost gone and I am pleased with the results so far. I will be back at Mayo on December 5 as a followup to determine if my body is absorbing the Restilyn and my vocal cord is getting smaller again. There is no apparent sign of that happening yet but I was told it does happen in some cases. Ensign 60.
