How long were your vocal chords paralyzed? Vocal Chord damage is my biggest worry of the actual surgery as the bigger the nodule the more chance of damage. My nodule is huge at 35mm, pretty much completely replacing the right globe. I know of someone who did not get their voice back for about 3 months but I think that it usually is not that long.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
