    My throat is! I was able to speak with my mom for the first time in more than a month today! Gives me hope there’s no damage to my vocal chords. 

    The rest of my body needs to catch up but that’ll take a while (could be months according to my doc).

    Overall, I’m doing better than I was a week ago :)
    This makes my heart happy.

    Great to hear.
    Hopefully noticeable improvement each week and you're back to 100% before summer.

    That is great to hear Hedo! I don't post much, but I have been following your fight and I'm rooting for you!!!

    Am I the wind beneath your wings?

    I’m doing pretty well this morning. Had a real meal last night and hoping this’ll put me on the right road so I can finally get rid of the port I’ve had in me for the past two-plus months!

    Anything to hang my hat on :)

    Merk, thank you!

    GG, it did, and I am!

    I had pasta with shrimp, fennel, artichoke hearts and tomatoes in a white wine clam sauce. It was tasty! And it felt great to finally eat some “real” food :)

    Mmm hedo, I had something simliar last night made for me... with an awesome view of the chef wearing exactly nothing as per my request!

    GG- when you offered my girl Hedo your hair, your guy's love and kindness made me cry. (Especially after the 11 nights of crying I did after Mills release) - I had to bail. But Hedo you're on my mind! How's today's healing going? After my covid hair fiasco, there's no way your getting any of mine!!!

    I would love to take credit for that, but it was Amy (deadendp) who made that very generous offer. She deserves the kudos for her kindness.
