    Well folks,

     I went back to see my Consultant today,about having an Op to restore my voice. By inserting a voice valve unfortunately due to the Scaring on my Windpipe and Oesphagus which was left after we tried the same Op last year it will take 2 yrs for the healing process to be complete before he can try again. So 2 yrs its going to have to be. Never mind things could be worse.

    Good Luck take care and be safe. Sarsfield…
