Thanks again, Anja. I'll probably get a taxi home tomorrow, unless I feel amazing, which sounds unlikely. As for food, I'll definitely need to go out and about soon and find some. Dying for some bibimbap. One thing about Seoul - they don't seem to stare much here, really. I notice a few glances, but hell that happens back home too.
Also, saw Dr. Kim today and met Jessie. She's amazing, and Dr. Kim seems very thorough and takes time to explain things to you and also genuinely seems to care.
Apparently I have shorter than average? vocal cords, but also a tremor and one cord is thicker than the other. Lucky me, I need the botox shot.
Lower Pitch reading: 167 Hz average
Higher Pitch reading: 178 Hz average
Lowest 'usable' pitch: 138 Hz
Don't remember the highest, sorry
I've had my trained voice for so long, I'm sure it's lower than 167 untrained, but I don't believe it's massively lower.
Vii
I wish I could help, but hopefully others can. However, it might fit a Remacle topic better as Yeson seems a bit different based on what I see in your story. For example, you ask about steroids, which are a strong anti inflammatory. However, I don't think other voice doctors do the spray you've been asked to use...so, what impact it may have had is hard to say. Ibuprofen is a mild blood thinner - not sure if that's a bad thing at 5 days or not (not a medical professional)?
Also can't comment much on the last two paragraphs as I've not had my surgery yet. However, Dr. Kim's office is quite helpful, but I can only vouch for pre-surgery at this stage. *hugs* Hope you get some info!
