Progress... Sweet Progress

So far so good...

I went to see my doctor today, to check how things are doing on the vocal front.  My voice is starting to feel more like normal, as well as sound more normal too, and what he saw confirms it.  My vocal chords are looking better, with less swelling.  There's still some edema in my larynx, but that's from the infection it suffered last week.  In general, things are looking much, much better.  I'm still on vocal rest to keep the healing going, and sometime next week I'll start singing, but slowly.  I don't want to traumatize the muscles or my chords.  After what I've been through, I'd better start easy.

It goes without saying that I'm in better spirits knowing that my vocal apparatus is well on its way to a full recovery.  I have another week before Iloilo; I think I'll be just fine.

Oh... Jed Madela is my special guest for both Bacolod and Iloilo.  I just thought to let you all know, in case you didn't already.

Hi Lea! Yeay! You're online. I can't wait to see you again for the concert tomorrow night at Eon Centennial Resort and Convention Center! After watching you at Broadway for Miss Saigon way back in '99, it will definitely be amazing to hear you sing once more. God keep you safe! =)

edema? ranke's edema? we learned that in voice ped, ms.lea. it's really bad but in can heal. i thought it can only be caused by smoking but apparently a non-smoker can also have edema.. i hope everything will be alright, soon :)
