Few things are as awkward & depressing as being mostly unable to express oneself verbally.
My voice is currently a cross between a hoarse whisper & a weak croak. Had a very bad gastric reflux episode on Sunday night, & that’s done the damage.
Some numbnuts decided it was a good idea to have a public holiday for a blasted horse race which is on today. Which means I can’t get to see a GP until tomorrow morning.
I’ve made email contact with the clinic that installed my lapband device 10 years ago, the particular surgeon is still with them. Serious adjustments will likely need to be made to the level of saline fluid in the band to reduce the constriction.
Because of reflux it hasn’t been overly effective as a weight-loss device for something like six years anyway.
