Please pray for healing of my vocal cords which I believe may have been damaged as a result of being intubated three times in a week for surgical procedures. It’s been 6 weeks and my full voice is not back. Also, I cannot sing and I get short of breath. Singing is a stress reducer for me and I miss it terribly. I don’t have health insurance so I don’t really have the means to get this checked into since I’m being inundated with bills from the surgeries. Please also pray for the overall big picture of my health situation. There is a lot going on. Too much on top of too much on top of too much and so on…
 
I will pray for you, but get therapy for your voice from a good instructor, and for now, REST it! Don’t damage further by pushing anything before you’re ready. Let it heal, drink lots of room temperature water, and refrain from even talking as much as possible is my advice.
 
Praying for you… Our Father who art in heaven … … Father please come to the aid of your faithful servant.
 
May our Lord heal you in accordance with his holy and perfect will. May you not strain your voice; may you be abandoned to the Lord’s merciful love full of confidence in his merciful love. May you persevere in a state of grace and pray ceaselessly for the graces you need to keep faithful and strong. Amen.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace.
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Thank you, Blacksword.I will try the suggestions that I’m able to do. Wouldn’t you know that my job involves a lot of talking 🙂 I’m really concerned because I can’t pay a Voice Coach to help. As it is my Driver license and tag have been expired for 2 months and I do not yet foresee a time when I can afford to renew them, and with all the medical bills coming in I’m not sure what I’m going to do. I suppose I signed a form somewhere that voice damage is a risk of being intubated so I’m not sure I should mention it to the Anesthesiologist. Although rare, it could’ve been the Endoscopy Scope that did the damage as I had that procedure twice and wasn’t intubated for those procedures. Anyway, here I am with stones still stuck in my bile duct after both attempts were unsuccessful, the surgeon just terminated me from her practice without telling me why and they won’t return my phone calls. Now they are billing me instead of giving me Charity Care and she didn’t give me the results of a test unless I could pay her $300-400. I’ve been really worried about the results so that’s still on my mind…it’s just been such a mess and I’m not out of the woods yet…
