<p>I’m having a polyp removed from my vocal cord tomorrow and I woke up today suddenly nervous about it. It is benign, so I’m not worried at all that it’s cancer or something serious. I’m nervous that my voice will change dramatically (I’m not a singer) in that I’ll go from a somewhat lower pitched voice to a higher pitched voice or something else very different from what people around me normally hear. </p>
<p>Did anyone else out there have this done and if so, how did you handle not talking during the recovery?</p>
