Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I have been getting treatment for cancer and recently had major surger. During a surgery follow-up, the surgeon asked if I had a cold. He is supposed to know my whole history (I've told him, and it's in my chart) I said, no, I don't have a cold. It's my sinuses. He said, well, we need to get you to see a good ENT. !!!!!!!!!! I didn't even bother telling him how many sinus surgeries I've had or that my ENT is perfectly fine, it's a new BODY I need. Or a new nose, as I always say when my husband asks what I want for Christmas. I do sometimes tell people I have a chronic illness. Lori > > > I have the same sort of problems.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I'm with you there Lori. I also used to sing and no longer have much of a voice. It makes me very sad.

I used to be a singer, and it's hard not to be able to sing the way I used to because of this. I hate my voice. Lori> > I have the same sort of problems.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Everytime I see my ENT I ask him if he has yet perfected the "head transplant"! I am first in line. I tell him that I don't care what the head looks like, just that it has perfect sinuses!!!! Janetruelori <lori@...> wrote: I have been getting treatment for cancer and recently had major surger.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I sing. One year when my symptoms were bad I was recording Christmas carols. That was frustrating, in the extreme, and I hated the way my voice sounded, but I got it done. My family loved it. It's always hard when my nose is plugged, but it's rarely plugged solid like that. I've had to relearn singing several times, and I'd train very hard before singing in public, but I refuse to stop. In short, I feel your pain.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Careful with that. He's likely to point out the superior sinuses innate to canines.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Well, now that you put it that way, maybe I should set some parameters. Like, I'd like to go blonde, with a cute little nose and great sinuses! Either way, I'd just like to breathe. I think breathing is very underated.Bob <rthomp0215@...> wrote: Careful with that.
