19 weeks post surgery report today

 19 weeks today:  Well, thanks to Linda and Eric and others I finally was able to give you some voice samples and pictures here on the blog! Just don't yet know how to get them into chronological order.

 Now in DC grandparenting and kids aren't asking me to repeat myself!  What a relief. No one else either. And can be heard in social settings though still breathy and soft but stronger each week. So glad I did this and have had so much support from others before and after me as well as you all!  Stay tuned! Write if questions, etc.

So glad that Linda Mottison is doing so well. Check out her blog. Teaching today after just a few weeks! Amazing. As for me, recovery continues with increasing volume. No fear answering phone any more. Almost forget I had that problem so long!  No one asks me to repeat myself or if I am feeling OK.  Nice change!

Finally figured out how to make paragraphs on blog so should be easier to read for folk just starting. Getting closer to adding pictures and voice samples. Did add a link to Diane Rehm interview which is quite amazing to hear if you have time!  Off for two weeks grandparenting inDC and then week at Peace Camp in Ontario before back for rest of summer in NH!

Yea, just added pictures on July 3rd!
