NO bueno!  I haven’t been playing any shows for the past two months.  My ear, nose, throat doctor scoped my throat…(thru my nose, which is ridiculously uncomfortable if you’ve never had it done)…and he found scar nodules on my vocal chords.  So, I’ve been on a hiatus from even writing and singing at home, much less performing.  I’ve been going to voice therapy once a week for the past month or so.  My therapist is optimistic that I’ll be back to performing by mid february if I stick with the exercises…(which are awfully silly, but I guess necessary).  I just went back to my ENT doctor yesterday and he said that the nodules had flattened out, showing progress, but he gave me a choice to try and laser them off and/or continue therapy.  No guarantees I’ll be back to normal singing voice after, but I think all will be well.  I’ll keep everyone posted.  Thanks for the support.
