Jan 4, 2011

Yesterday was a day trying to figure out what to do about my lack of voice. Everyday my voice does not return the pressure continues to mount. After the visit to Dr. Bradfield's on Friday where he pretty much stated that I'm holding back on him and this is all in my head, we were left with no answers. Personally for me its really depressing because after 5 weeks I feel like I'm back at square one with nothing to do but wait for something to happen Since Jenny is used to fixing things its incredibly frustrating for her that she can't fix me. So she spent hours this afternoon on line thinking of solutions. She had an idea since I'm saying its an air problem maybe I should see a Pulmonary doctor. This makes sense to me. At this point I'll try anything. Also we got an appointment with another ENT tomorrow. While doing research Jenny thinks she may have found out what I have. Its called Spasmadic Dysphonia. The symptoms do descibe what I'm going thought. This condition is pretty scary because there is no cure. But it is treated first with a speech pathologist. If that does not help the problem they administer Botox shots in your neck. I want to know what I've got but I really don't want to hear I have this.

On the sports front the TV ratings came in for the Winter Classic. It was the most watched hockey game on TV in 36 years with 4.5 million viewers. The NHL must be turning naked cartwheels. I found out the average NFL game gets about 16 million viewers so hockey still has a long way to go. But like every long journey you need to take that first step. If I was in charge the next Winter Classic it would be the Rangers vs anyone in Yankee Stadium.
