Thanks @busylizzie for concern and support. My vocal chord problem is more of a nuisance than a problem at this point. I have grown a cyst on good side which allows paralyzed side contact with other side and makes for a soft horsy voice. It has changed the way people see me as I was a 'loud' person before first TKR and now am soft spoken and a bit quiet. Some of the docs while in hospital for revision suggested that metal allergy may have triggered the paralysis but no one following up. I see one of the top voice specialist in the world and he is recommending surgery but I'm not inclined one way or another. The revision so far is going very well. Pain is under control, appetite good, sleeping like an angel and stats really good (full extension and 113 ROM at 2 weeks)! PT is three times a week and very gentle focusing on stim and massage. Knee hasn't looked this good in years other than I have got to have longest and ugliest scar on this forum. So wishing you Lizzie 'green light' for new knee soon and wishing all fellow Bonesmarties healthy and active recoveries. TKR's are a hell of a thing!!!
