Tonsils and Singing

<p>What a coincidence to see this post. I just got a call from the ENT the other day suggesting I get a tonsillectomy. I have had the most frustrating year of my life…ever since last spring/summer, my voice has not been in prime condition. It has had its ups and downs (really bad downs…) and overall has just been in this constant state of soreness. I KNOW I can trace this to unfocused breathing patterns, other unhealthy treatment of my voice, etc. But I had my vocal chords scoped multiple times and they told me NOTHING was wrong. Don’t get me wrong…it’s nice to hear you DON’T have nodes…but I also had no answers. I learned tohught, that I have had tonsil problems and have a prolonged case of “cryptic tonsilitis” which you can have tons of fun reading about in the article provided in an earlier post. I truly hope that after removal and what I hope will be a successful recovery, I will be able to get my voice at 100% and do what I love to do :)</p>

<p>Lucky for me, I have gappy teeth like my mom, so my wisdom teeth are only helping my smile :stuck_out_tongue: Sorry for those of you who will have to go throgh wisdom teeth removal. My friend did it this school year and it didn’t seem like fun…:&lt;/p>
