One of things Dr. Olson had strongly recommended was therapy for my vocal cord dysfunction. There was definite improvement since she first diagnosed it in April, but she said it is still cutting off my airway too often. I need more help to get it under control. Dr. Caudill referred me to the voice therapy clinic at UK.
Today was my first appointment. I met with Dr. Rita Patel. She talked with me for a short while about my history and what had been done at National Jewish. She did a laryngoscopy to prove the dysfunction. Afterwards, she reviewed the results with me. The visit was kind of awkward. I felt quite uncomfortable there. I wasn't feeling well, so maybe that was the reason, but something just wasn't right. This was nothing like my visits for VCD with the therapists at National Jewish. She wants to see me again in two weeks, so surely it will seem better then.
