A recent posting inquired about when I regained my normal speech, or voice.
I reviewed my journal and was surprised to find that I never noted when my voice was back to normal. My wife says it wasn't until the end of my recovery, although, she also says I was a baby about the whole thing and drove her nuts. Taking her colorful comments into account, I think it was during the third week that I was speaking comfortably again.
I'd like to hear what others have to say about this, so if you've recently, or currently, are going through recovery from a tonsillectomy, please comment.
In any case, you should be back to normal after about three weeks. My voice didn't change permanently and is back to it's normal tone and range.

Hi Robert, I am on day 11 of my recovery and I have found your blog quite informative... Both in reassuring me that what I am experiencing is normal and in letting me know what to expect down the road.
On your most recent post, I think my voice sounds like it is back to normal already. Just when I talk a lot or loudly (to my son mostly) I get that nagging tickle in the back of my throat... and of course coughing is still pretty painful so I have to stop. I'm hoping that by sometime next week I will be able to speak without much discomfort, especially since I am an instructor and I go back to work in 4 days. :/
Thanks so much for the website... I'm going to refer my curious friends to your page.
I am on day 6 and I wish I had found your blog earlier. I am blogging about my experience. It does hurt and I have to say I would expect anyone to be a baby bout it. Tell your wife, I bet my husband has been saying the same thing!
I can't wait to get back to normal!
