Hardcore Karaoke
On Friday, after the good news from the surgeon. Enrique and I went to see a voice specialist. They inserted a small video camera into his mouth that pointed down into his throat.
We watched the whole thing live a flat screen TV, specially placed for the patient. The doctor's had their own screen. It reminded me of the dual screens at grocery store checkout lines.
They made Enrique read a passage and then sing a little. "Say OOOOH. Now AHHHH. Now, really quickly EEEEK!"
The whole time we watched his vocal cords do their thing. On screen it looked pornographic. I could not stop laughing.
The doctor said, "That's why god put all that on the inside."
Basically, his attitute seemed to be a very pleasant version of "Why are you here? This is pretty routine. In the unlikely event that something goes wrong, come back and see me."
That works for me.
