Sorry to hear you are going through so much. I also had (have) vocal cord paralysis. I received an injection to plumb to the vocal cord so it reached the midline and allow the functioning thyroid to meet it allowing me to talk. I am about 10 weeks post surgery. I just went to the ENT and it doesn’t show any signs of healing so I may continue the injections every 9-12 months or get an implant in my vocal cord for a more permanent fix. Has your dr presented you with any of those options?

Since my a1c is high for surgery, both my pcp and ent doctor told me there’s nothing they can do until my sugar goes down

Sorry…that should say “allow the functioning vocal cord” not thyroid.
