Hi, I'm pretty new, AVR April 19th, heart Cath day before, to check... If radiation did more damage while no one was looking ( had that 40 yrs ago, yep, Hodgkins mantle treatment). But I am a mezzo in a dynamite Chorale of 50-60 people, with a totally brilliant music master directing us... Pig's ears into silk purses... Just now I'm getting my high mezzo notes( okay, was, am mostly in bed now, get a little dizzy singing along to our tapes) when my energy was redirected to my toes or somewhere, because NEED my feet up w/in hrs of waking up. Anyhow, back to voice. I use vocal ligament for my higher notes, not vocal folds AS much... But Hodgkins knocked out my bottom jaw salivary glands (ergo dry mouth) and everybody keeps bringing up that intubation for breathing. I'm terrified for my voice... Keep hearing angels giving ice chips, but is that for thirst, or moistening...? With dry mouth anyway.... Any hints, tips, or anything from you guys? Thank God for this site, I've already learned so much already.... Michelle
