Speaker 1 (00:00):
How was your mom's vocal fold from her vocal fold augmentation, Yes,
which she had done on Thursday before she got South Carolina. Yes,
they inject the filler into your vocal cords and hopes
of pushing him closer together and creating a healthier vibration
to fix issues with your voice. When I picked her
(00:23):
up at the airport, I didn't know how she was
able to navigate the world that morning.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
So she can't talk rough.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Like it was that and she was trying to ask
me questions just about like the kids in the car
from BWI, And I said, Mom, like, let me just
tell you what's going on? Like you, you should not
be talking. It sounded.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Was she out of the window when they told her
not to talk, Yes, so she was.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
She was out of that window.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Give us an example of how she sounded. What do
you mean?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Is it like Hi, Tayler, less crip keeper?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Okay, I got more crick here.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
No, it's Does it sound like she got punched in
the throat? Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yes, and it just it affects like her projection too.
Although they said to her, do not whisper. And you're
recovering from this, that's the worst thing. You can do,
because whispering, you hear, even when your voice is healthy,
is bad for you.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
You know you said that on Friday. I don't know
that I've ever heard that. I don't know that I've
ever heard somebody say whispering is bad for you.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
If anything, you're always told whisper.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I think it puts everything in an unnatural position. When
you whisper.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Elliott in the morning like that, I don't feel like
I'm doing any Damn.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
There there's a lot of strain than on your vocal cords.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
An I don't feel any strain.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
And then we went to a Fallen Oak on Saturday
for lunch.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Give me another beer.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
At one point my mom had to like back out
of the conversation because she was trying to talk to
oh really yeah, to the owner's family, and it was
so bad no one could understand what mom was saying.
So then my mom said, I'm sorry, I recently had
a vocal surgery. Like she's a touring musician.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
But she's fine. But then you.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Get to yesterday. Yeah, the whole time she felt okay,
And I'm telling you, the voice sounded better than it
hasn't ten years. Yesterday, even my brother called from California
to talk to her and said the same thing, like, wow,
you sound really good. So the improvement of seventy two
hours later was dramatic. And I did find out from her,
like that one caller, she's not considering this to be
(02:50):
something she maintains and has done every six months or
two months, three months, whatever it was. This is the
test for the permanent surgery.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Right, So then they go in they do the permanent surgery.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Which is what the one caller mentioned they did it for.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Oh wow, so you said she sounds great.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, I'm really surprised because it's earlier than I thought.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
That's awesome. Good for her. How happy is she that
she doesn't sound like.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
To not have that like a laryngitis voice. Yeah, most
people will be pretty excited.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah, no, she probably feels like she's an active member.
Well not this morning.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
She found out what time the kids go to school,
and she said, I'll see you when you get home.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
She wasn't getting them up to she was.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Not going to see them after the bus.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Yeah, well, no reason for everybody to get up. I'm
not going to school. No, because somebody sent me on
it was either Friday night or Saturday. Have we ever
heard of a I hope I say this wrong? Right,
excuse me? Perry Tonsellor absessed a perry Tonsellor. So tonsil Perry,
(03:57):
of course, And as like we know what an abscess.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Is, well, we know that Perry, just like perimenopause before.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Oh before tonsil abscess? What is it?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
So this woman woke up with a swollen tonsil and
was having a hard time swallowing.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
She didn't know. So this goes on for a couple
of days.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
So she's taken like ibuprofen and aceeta, set of metaphine
and like just trying to figure out what's going on
so it wouldn't go away. And so when she looked
in the in the mirror, she could see that there
was like like it's it's it's inflame. She went to
see like maybe I have strap and then it was
(04:49):
The test came back negative. She wondered, like do I
have a virus? They gave her like steroids to try
to reduce the swelling and make it better, which it did,
but not but it doesn't cure anything. It just masks
the pain. So anyway, she goes through all these tests
and every time by she comes off medicine, she gets
(05:11):
like all all enlarged in everything again. But it's only
on one side of her throat. And they checked her,
what's that thing.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
That hangs down in your mouthula?
Speaker 4 (05:21):
The uvula uvula was fine. But it turns out she
had a pery tonsill or abscess, which is a puss
filled pocket near the tonsils.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Among the symptoms.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
It's described as severe unilateral sore throat.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I don't know what a severe unilatterin. So it just
one side? Is that what that means where it's just
on one side of the throat?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yeah, you can see that in the pictures.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Oh, I didn't look at pictures.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Ooh, Elliott, you're not reacting enough to that. Look how much?
Speaker 5 (06:02):
I mean?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
No, I was gonna say, that's really it's really what's
the word disgusting?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Well, it's disgusting.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
But they said that there's usually like white flexeah on
the outside because of the of the like it's almost
like little bits of puss are coming out.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
What are those turns?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Smell like horrible? Horrible?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Does it go by another name?
Speaker 4 (06:29):
No, But they say that the two like if you
have a pery tonsillar abscess, Christian, will you do me
a favor? Will you see if you can find me
somebody who's had a pery tonsillar abscess?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Please?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Eight six six to Elliott eight six six two three
five five four six eight. You're swollen on one side.
You are going to have that puss filled abscess. And
they say that. Another big system symptom, excuse me, is
that you've got hot potato voice? What is that hot
potato voice? Yeah, like you're talking like your mouth is
(07:06):
full of potatoes, hard.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
That are hot?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Well? Yeah, like, ah talk because you're you're because.

You've got a mouthful of marbles almost no potatoes.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Hot potatoes.

No, but imagine that sounds like someone you do.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Reagan, Mommy, no, go back do the hot potato voice. Oh,
I got a whole potato voice. Who is that potato voice?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Is it someone internal like that? We know it's not
someone who's super famous.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Hot potato voice? Was there a hot potato voice in
the station?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Doesn't that sound like somebody a potato voice?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
But you keep changing it every time you say something.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Well, I'm doing a different break, different infects and inflection.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
I got a hot potato voice. I don't know who

Speaker 2 (08:31):

and off the stage. I think he died. He didn't,
Are you sure? Saying that I'm very close to dying?
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Still with us? He is eighty six.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
I'd like to thank Elliot for the hand getting up
and down the stage tonight.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Katie Kirk's got more. I got a hot potato voice.
Where am I going? I'm crushing Tom Brokaw today. Hi
Ellie in the morning.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
Hi is this mean?
Speaker 7 (09:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Did you have Perry tonsillar abscess?
Speaker 6 (09:06):
I did have a Perry Tonsller abscess, yes, about twenty
years ago. It was pretty brutal actually, however.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
And six your body's cooking.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
Oh it was. It was terrible. It was seeing trails.
My mom threw me in the car and uh, straight
to the emergency room. But yeah, it was. I used
to get strapped out all of the time.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I hate to be caught up. Don't they have to
ice pack you?
Speaker 6 (09:33):
It was really really bad. Like I've never gotten into
the emergency room, quicker. Let me tell you it was.
It was terrible. But I normally average around one hundred
and four plus when I had strap, so stretch.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
So joke, I've never had strap, thank god.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Hey, let me ask you this though, What is what
causes what causes perio tonsular abscess?
Speaker 6 (09:56):
I really I wish I could tell you. I don't know.
They sedated me. I just snow. I woke up some
of my mom cry and I did. Was really bad.
They said if I was like five years younger, my
throat would have swelled shut because the doctors weren't touching it.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
By the way, they do say though for the like
they got to go in and fix it, right.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
And they they had to lance it, yes.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
And they said that the the what is that? What
the incision in your throat is pretty aggressive.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
Honestly, I was so out of it for so long
for a few days after that, I wish I could remember.
But it was way worse than my worst case of
strap I've ever had it. How bad help men wouldn't
recommend it on my worst enemy.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
How bad was your breath?
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (10:38):
I don't recall. I assume probably not very good after,
especially after they lanced it.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
But Lord only knows, right, no, because the person that
I was reading about like they had to have it
lanced like you did, but they didn't put her out
or him out. They just used lytakane and then cut
that thing open and then they were like, I tasted
like that metallic blood taste, and.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Then it was that I can remember.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty aggressive. It's pretty aggressive.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
I don't even know. I won't even say that they
put me out, but they had me on a lot
of medicine that certainly knocked me out, if you will,
like you have on anesthesia, but I was knocked out.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Did you have hot potato voice?
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Yes, absolutely, But I'd had that for a while for
like going up until they finally were able to diagnose
it in the emergency room because I'd gone to the
doctor a few times before, thinking it was strapped, and
she said, nope, it's just a virus. Like there's nothing
I can do for it.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
What they said, this person, why is it? Why is
it so hard?
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Why is it so hard to diagnose? I?
Speaker 6 (11:39):
I wish I knew? But and that was twenty years ago.
So it sounds like it's not getting any better.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
No, not at all. And I've never even heard of it.
All right, I who Mariam?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
A couple people think you sound more like Nicholas Cage.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
No I can see now, No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Say you're going to steal the Declaration of Independence?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
It's gone in sixty seconds. That's Cage.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
What is You've obviously done a lot of reading on this.
Did you ever see the word Quincy?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Quincy? Like Massachusetts?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Two people have asked, is he talking about Quincy's?
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Oh you know what? That does not ring familiar? Germophobe
is in here? What is a Quincy? What is a
what is a Quincy?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I don't know they're spelling with that s though, not
with the c q U I n s E.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
I know why why quincy? Don't know?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
So that's not in your piece life.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I'm not seeing it, and if I saw that, I don't.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Here we go, h dotted with small patches of white discharge.
Thank you, hid the gland uvula tear shaped a severe infection.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Gently prodded the flesh with a tongue depressed.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Yeah, oh, here we go. Quincy clinically known as a
peritonsillar absess. Oh so it's another name for quincy street term.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Ooh. I don't like calling it a quincy. I don't
think it. I don't think it gives.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
You the severity it needs.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Isn't that the point?
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Well? No, ill you a quincy?
Speaker 7 (13:21):
No?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
No, but that's what I mean.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
I don't want somebody to go like, oh, I don't
have anything to worry about.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
It's just a quincy.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
What was it the name of the doctor that figured
it out.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I feel like my dad used to watch a show
called Quincy. You go. But no, I'm sure it's not
named after him. It probably is.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
But no, you know what, I like, that's not severe enough.
That's like finding out you have cancer. But they call
it like a oh you got a dollup? No that
this is bad. They got to cut your whole throat open.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
It is called a quincy due to the historical evolution
of its name from the ancient Greek term can, which
translates to dog choking, because sufferers felt like they had
such difficulties swallowing they were choking.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I believe that because of the hot potato.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Boys over the centuries, the Greek word morphed into the
Latin word sinance or sinance, eventually evolving into the old
French word s QUINNANCEI, and then it became quincy. Now
you know what you got.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
You got you got a tonsil abscess and it's bad,
and you got to get that fixed.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
And your breath is kicking on top of it. Hi,
Elliott in the morning?
Speaker 7 (14:38):
Is this?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (14:39):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Who's this?
Speaker 7 (14:40):
H money born?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yes? Did you have a quincy?
Speaker 7 (14:44):
I had two of them? I am. I was probably
like eighteen years old, and I had like I used
to get chronic strep throat and tonsilitis all the time.
But when I had this, I woke up and I
felt like I couldn't breathe and I couldn't sw follow
my own spit. It was absolutely horrifying.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
You know, they said it did your mouth, did your
throat feel like it was on fire?
Speaker 7 (15:08):
Well? It always did every time I had strap or
ton slide. So that was that was like, that was
normal for me when I had it. But the suffocation
of my my tonsole were my tonsole was massive. And
they went to put a needle in my mouth, and
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 8 (15:24):
I'm not afraid of.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
A needle anywhere else, but I will not let a
needle in my mouth. So I just they gave me
a liquid steroid and I just had to suck it
up because I wouldn't let them drain it.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Oh wait, so you just had to wait for all
that pus to evaporate in your body.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
I just it took days and I was miserable, but
I just I couldn't the thought of them putting a
needle in my mouth was I mean, I just couldn't
do it.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Hey, And so so I was going to ask when
you said you had two, I was gonna ask, are
they on both?
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Like?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Did they appear on different sides?
Speaker 4 (15:55):
But they never lanced and got it out on you.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
No, they only I had the one, and then I
got it again like a couple a few months later,
and then eventually I ended up getting my tonsils out
as an adult but I had to wait to do that.
But it's pretty viserable. It's probably the worst feeling thing
you can have. Just feels like something's like closing your throat.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Hey did you how was your breath?
Speaker 7 (16:21):
My breast didn't stink?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
How all that? Couldn't you see all that pus and
everything in there?
Speaker 7 (16:29):
Look, I had an I had an impact and impacted
like wisdom too. Now that stinks when they have when
they take all the garbage out of it. So I
can tell you nothing smells worse.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Than that that.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
My breath never smelled when I had it, not that
I could even open my mouth to really tell.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
God wreck.
Speaker 8 (16:51):
Not anymore.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
It's not all right, very good, very good, down, thank you.
That's horrible. I would hate to have that.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
How long does it take to get rid of a
quincy well?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
I think it depends on what road you go. Like
if you go like let the virus.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Run its course and take steroid six weeks, six weeks,
But if you get a if you get the if
you get the surgery or the lansing, I don't know
if they've got to put stitches.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
But what's that got to be? Three four days? Like
you pop? Is is it it's gone.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
That's just puzz filled. That says, although an abscess is
worse than just a proper treatment, could be five to
seven days, that's not bad. Full of recovery and return
to in our all activities in one to two weeks.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I don't know what they mean by like full activities.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
What can you have hot potato mouth? You're probably not
making many sales calls.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Oh would you like to advertise.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
On oh thatence kicking.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
On a Heart or on the NBC Nightly News.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Or if that got better? You'd require Diane though, to
come in if she had hot potato.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Oh god, yes, Oh, it's Dne.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Diane. We haven't heard you attempted again. Now that you
understand it, better.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
To imitate Tom Brokaw.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
No, what would you sound like if you had a
potato voice?
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Uh? Uh no that you like that in your tongue
got ripped out and.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
I go back to Tom Brokaw.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Now, yes, that's that's what you're imitating. Oh, Charlie both.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Oh Katie, you know what we need, actual potatoes.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I crushed potatoes right now.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Hi, Ellie, in the morning, I told you my Colonel
sandersmoyed about potatoes. Yes, yeah, he hated KFC mashed potatoes.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I love him. I'm sorry. Yes, who is this? Yeah?
Did you have perry tonsular abscess? Yeah? Sure, yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
I got it for my fortieth birthday last October.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
You know, I was gonna ask, is there are is
there a sweet age spot when you get it?
Speaker 5 (19:14):
I haven't spent a night in the hospital my entire life,
and then my fortieth birthday, I spent three days in
the hospital for this.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Wait, you were in the hospital for three days. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
They didn't want to. They didn't want to They didn't
want to lance it, so they put me on like
steroids and antibiotic drip and they just kept me there
until it kind of like went away from that. So
they didn't want to go in there and open it up.
They just put me on the drip and just let
me sit there for three days.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Why excuse me? Why out of curiosity did they not
want to lance it? Like what was the issue?
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Is it just like they don't want to be like
go cutting in your throat like infection?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Yeah, they thought it was just like unnecessary risk. They
didn't think it was like big enough to lance. So
instead of just taking you know, taking care of it
real quick and added risk. I guess they thought it'd
be fafor to just put me on the drip, So
I just laid there in the hospital for three days.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Did you did you have like like was your mouthful
of puss and stuff?
Speaker 5 (20:13):
No? No, mine wasn't that gnarly. But like the other
caller was saying, it's the most painful thing I've ever
had in my entire life. It felt like I was
swallowing razor blades.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
And I was camping with my son that weekend, so
I didn't want to go to the hospital because we
were camping, So I just kind of sat there and
sucked it up. But like I couldn't swallow my spit.
I was up all night. Is the worst pain I've
ever been in. And uh, I went to urgent care
as soon as I got done camping, and they're like,
straight to the hospital because your throat's closing up.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
So they and they did say, like you you you
refer to it as razor blades. The other thing I
read is like it's like a hot like like no, oh, no,
like a hot poker getting jammed in your throat.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Yeah, yeah, like hands down, worst worst pain in my life,
and I've done a lot of stupid stuff, but this
this was beyond awful.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Interesting.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
I wouldn't wish on anyone who's pretty bad.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Wow, everybody says that, all right, very good, thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Everyone now is saying, and I've never seen King of
the Hill, but that you sound like Hank Hill. Is
that heard?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Bobby? That's a little different. That's a little different.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
So you do Hank Hill? Apparently the I know.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
What Hank Hill. I don't.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
I don't think I do as good of a Hank Hill.
I don't do boom hour. Hey, Bobby like Bobby is more.
Bobby is like Hank is is more?
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Who's loss? Yeah, No, they're different, They're different.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Okay, And Diane, you're not gonna give us your Peggy Hill.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Hey, can I grab line four real quick? I want
to eat hi Ellie in the morning.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
This is making you hung Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Hi? Who's yeah?
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Hi?
Speaker 7 (21:50):
Hi?
Speaker 8 (21:51):
This is fairfag station.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
My daughter was three months old. I I've been, you know,
talking to her and all like you talked to babies
and children. And then I did the same thing as
his mom.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
I could.
Speaker 8 (22:11):
I would start speaking and then just completely lose breath
and my words would just go out into nowhere. And
I went into Georgetown to the ear nose throat specialist
apartment there and he called it new mom syndrome. But
I had nodules on my vocal cords. But I never
ended up having any surgery. I took some steroids and
(22:33):
I did like four months of speech therapy and they
told me they taught me how to completely speak and
use my diaphragm to breathe to relieve the pressure on
the nodules so that my vocal cords would close. That's
the problem. When you lose your breath like that, your
chords aren't closing well enough.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
So you had to go through speech there. I'd have
been like operate, like, I'm not going through four months.
I'm not beach therapy.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
No, they didn't want to operate because you know, vocal
cords are delicate, so you know, you don't want to
start going in there and cutting up on them if
you don't have to. And of course that was thirty
two years ago, so now the treatment may be completely
different for it now.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
But you are you done? Are you done with the
speech therapy or are you still in it? No?
Speaker 8 (23:25):
I did it for like four months, and but she
gave me all the directions and stuff because she said
if it ever came back or if I could hear
that it was coming back for me to well, she
told me to continue to practice how I was learning
how to breathe and enunciate words and pronounce things.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
But you know, you don't. You don't do that.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
No, because I was going to say, I still hear
like an accent and everything on you.
Speaker 8 (23:49):
Oh well, it didn't get rid of the accent.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
That's what I wouldn't speech therapy get rid of that
like you would.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Necessarily you talked about the diaphragm.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
You wouldn't think.
Speaker 8 (23:58):
You would think that when you been a majority of
your time with your parents who are from South Carolina
born and bred, you don't lose that.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
No, you don't.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
I hear it.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
I hear it.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
All right, Very good, very good, Dank. Your mom doesn't
have to go through speech therapy.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Does she? She does?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Actually?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Does she? Really?
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Four months starts? I don't know if it's that long.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Now, I'll show it for one appointment and be like
I'll do it at home.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
From here, okay.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Elliot has resistance. Fans at home always tells the pets, yes,
ours in a week and how much does she have
to go? I don't know how long it lasts for.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
One session, like she's fine, Like what does she need
to learn to talk again?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
For again?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
This is she talks this weekend to test if you're oh,
because she wants to get the whole thing candidate for
the permanent surgery.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Oh god, I hate physical therapy and then just to talk.
Can I do it on the phone or zoom me? Like,
I don't want to do that. That's a pain in
the ass.
How was your mom's vocal fold from her vocal fold augmentation, Yes,
which she had done on Thursday before she got South Carolina. Yes,
they inject the filler into your vocal cords and hopes
of pushing him closer together and creating a healthier vibration
to fix issues with your voice. When I picked her
(00:23):
up at the airport, I didn't know how she was
able to navigate the world that morning.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
So she can't talk rough.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Like it was that and she was trying to ask
me questions just about like the kids in the car
from BWI, And I said, Mom, like, let me just
tell you what's going on? Like you, you should not
be talking. It sounded.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Was she out of the window when they told her
not to talk, Yes, so she was.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
She was out of that window.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Give us an example of how she sounded. What do
you mean?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Is it like Hi, Tayler, less crip keeper?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Okay, I got more crick here.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
No, it's Does it sound like she got punched in
the throat? Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yes, and it just it affects like her projection too.
Although they said to her, do not whisper. And you're
recovering from this, that's the worst thing. You can do,
because whispering, you hear, even when your voice is healthy,
is bad for you.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
You know you said that on Friday. I don't know
that I've ever heard that. I don't know that I've
ever heard somebody say whispering is bad for you.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
If anything, you're always told whisper.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I think it puts everything in an unnatural position. When
you whisper.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Elliott in the morning like that, I don't feel like
I'm doing any Damn.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
There there's a lot of strain than on your vocal cords.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
An I don't feel any strain.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
And then we went to a Fallen Oak on Saturday
for lunch.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Give me another beer.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
At one point my mom had to like back out
of the conversation because she was trying to talk to
oh really yeah, to the owner's family, and it was
so bad no one could understand what mom was saying.
So then my mom said, I'm sorry, I recently had
a vocal surgery. Like she's a touring musician.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
But she's fine. But then you.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Get to yesterday. Yeah, the whole time she felt okay,
And I'm telling you, the voice sounded better than it
hasn't ten years. Yesterday, even my brother called from California
to talk to her and said the same thing, like, wow,
you sound really good. So the improvement of seventy two
hours later was dramatic. And I did find out from her,
like that one caller, she's not considering this to be
(02:50):
something she maintains and has done every six months or
two months, three months, whatever it was. This is the
test for the permanent surgery.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Right, So then they go in they do the permanent surgery.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Which is what the one caller mentioned they did it for.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Oh wow, so you said she sounds great.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, I'm really surprised because it's earlier than I thought.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
That's awesome. Good for her. How happy is she that
she doesn't sound like.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
To not have that like a laryngitis voice. Yeah, most
people will be pretty excited.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah, no, she probably feels like she's an active member.
Well not this morning.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
She found out what time the kids go to school,
and she said, I'll see you when you get home.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
She wasn't getting them up to she was.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Not going to see them after the bus.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Yeah, well, no reason for everybody to get up. I'm
not going to school. No, because somebody sent me on
it was either Friday night or Saturday. Have we ever
heard of a I hope I say this wrong? Right,
excuse me? Perry Tonsellor absessed a perry Tonsellor. So tonsil Perry,
(03:57):
of course, And as like we know what an abscess.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Is, well, we know that Perry, just like perimenopause before.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Oh before tonsil abscess? What is it?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
So this woman woke up with a swollen tonsil and
was having a hard time swallowing.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
She didn't know. So this goes on for a couple
of days.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
So she's taken like ibuprofen and aceeta, set of metaphine
and like just trying to figure out what's going on
so it wouldn't go away. And so when she looked
in the in the mirror, she could see that there
was like like it's it's it's inflame. She went to
see like maybe I have strap and then it was
(04:49):
The test came back negative. She wondered, like do I
have a virus? They gave her like steroids to try
to reduce the swelling and make it better, which it did,
but not but it doesn't cure anything. It just masks
the pain. So anyway, she goes through all these tests
and every time by she comes off medicine, she gets
(05:11):
like all all enlarged in everything again. But it's only
on one side of her throat. And they checked her,
what's that thing.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
That hangs down in your mouthula?
Speaker 4 (05:21):
The uvula uvula was fine. But it turns out she
had a pery tonsill or abscess, which is a puss
filled pocket near the tonsils.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Among the symptoms.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
It's described as severe unilateral sore throat.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I don't know what a severe unilatterin. So it just
one side? Is that what that means where it's just
on one side of the throat?
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Yeah, you can see that in the pictures.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Oh, I didn't look at pictures.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Ooh, Elliott, you're not reacting enough to that. Look how much?
Speaker 5 (06:02):
I mean?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
No, I was gonna say, that's really it's really what's
the word disgusting?
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Well, it's disgusting.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
But they said that there's usually like white flexeah on
the outside because of the of the like it's almost
like little bits of puss are coming out.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
What are those turns?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Smell like horrible? Horrible?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Does it go by another name?
Speaker 4 (06:29):
No, But they say that the two like if you
have a pery tonsillar abscess, Christian, will you do me
a favor? Will you see if you can find me
somebody who's had a pery tonsillar abscess?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Please?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Eight six six to Elliott eight six six two three
five five four six eight. You're swollen on one side.
You are going to have that puss filled abscess. And
they say that. Another big system symptom, excuse me, is
that you've got hot potato voice? What is that hot
potato voice? Yeah, like you're talking like your mouth is
(07:06):
full of potatoes, hard.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
That are hot?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Well? Yeah, like, ah talk because you're you're because.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
You've got a mouthful of marbles almost no potatoes.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Hot potatoes.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
No, but imagine that sounds like someone you do.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Reagan, Mommy, no, go back do the hot potato voice. Oh,
I got a whole potato voice. Who is that potato voice?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Is it someone internal like that? We know it's not
someone who's super famous.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Hot potato voice? Was there a hot potato voice in
the station?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Doesn't that sound like somebody a potato voice?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
But you keep changing it every time you say something.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Well, I'm doing a different break, different infects and inflection.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
I got a hot potato voice. I don't know who
I do. Who's got hot potato voice? Do you do?
You broke off? Oh? Oh is that what it is?
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:58):

Speaker 3 (08:02):
That sounds more like Tom Brokaw.
Speaker 4 (08:04):

Brokaw is good? Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I open extra skater her my god, my mom was

Bet, look it up.
Speaker 1 (08:26):

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Don't know?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
He did help him right, Yeah, I helped him on
and off the stage. I think he died. He didn't,
Are you sure? Saying that I'm very close to dying?
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Still with us? He is eighty six.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
I'd like to thank Elliot for the hand getting up
and down the stage tonight.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Katie Kirk's got more. I got a hot potato voice.
Where am I going? I'm crushing Tom Brokaw today. Hi
Ellie in the morning.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
Hi is this mean?
Speaker 7 (09:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Did you have Perry tonsillar abscess?
Speaker 6 (09:06):
I did have a Perry Tonsller abscess, yes, about twenty
years ago. It was pretty brutal actually, however.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
And six your body's cooking.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
Oh it was. It was terrible. It was seeing trails.
My mom threw me in the car and uh, straight
to the emergency room. But yeah, it was. I used
to get strapped out all of the time.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I hate to be caught up. Don't they have to
ice pack you?
Speaker 6 (09:33):
It was really really bad. Like I've never gotten into
the emergency room, quicker. Let me tell you it was.
It was terrible. But I normally average around one hundred
and four plus when I had strap, so stretch.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
So joke, I've never had strap, thank god.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Hey, let me ask you this though, What is what
causes what causes perio tonsular abscess?
Speaker 6 (09:56):
I really I wish I could tell you. I don't know.
They sedated me. I just snow. I woke up some
of my mom cry and I did. Was really bad.
They said if I was like five years younger, my
throat would have swelled shut because the doctors weren't touching it.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
By the way, they do say though for the like
they got to go in and fix it, right.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
And they they had to lance it, yes.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
And they said that the the what is that? What
the incision in your throat is pretty aggressive.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
Honestly, I was so out of it for so long
for a few days after that, I wish I could remember.
But it was way worse than my worst case of
strap I've ever had it. How bad help men wouldn't
recommend it on my worst enemy.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
How bad was your breath?
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (10:38):
I don't recall. I assume probably not very good after,
especially after they lanced it.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
But Lord only knows, right, no, because the person that
I was reading about like they had to have it
lanced like you did, but they didn't put her out
or him out. They just used lytakane and then cut
that thing open and then they were like, I tasted
like that metallic blood taste, and.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Then it was that I can remember.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yeah, yeah, it's pretty aggressive. It's pretty aggressive.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
I don't even know. I won't even say that they
put me out, but they had me on a lot
of medicine that certainly knocked me out, if you will,
like you have on anesthesia, but I was knocked out.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Did you have hot potato voice?
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Yes, absolutely, But I'd had that for a while for
like going up until they finally were able to diagnose
it in the emergency room because I'd gone to the
doctor a few times before, thinking it was strapped, and
she said, nope, it's just a virus. Like there's nothing
I can do for it.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
What they said, this person, why is it? Why is
it so hard?
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Why is it so hard to diagnose? I?
Speaker 6 (11:39):
I wish I knew? But and that was twenty years ago.
So it sounds like it's not getting any better.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
No, not at all. And I've never even heard of it.
All right, I who Mariam?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
A couple people think you sound more like Nicholas Cage.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
No I can see now, No, no, no.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Say you're going to steal the Declaration of Independence?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
It's gone in sixty seconds. That's Cage.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
What is You've obviously done a lot of reading on this.
Did you ever see the word Quincy?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Quincy? Like Massachusetts?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Two people have asked, is he talking about Quincy's?
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Oh you know what? That does not ring familiar? Germophobe
is in here? What is a Quincy? What is a
what is a Quincy?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I don't know they're spelling with that s though, not
with the c q U I n s E.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
I know why why quincy? Don't know?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
So that's not in your piece life.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I'm not seeing it, and if I saw that, I don't.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Here we go, h dotted with small patches of white discharge.
Thank you, hid the gland uvula tear shaped a severe infection.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Gently prodded the flesh with a tongue depressed.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Yeah, oh, here we go. Quincy clinically known as a
peritonsillar absess. Oh so it's another name for quincy street term.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Ooh. I don't like calling it a quincy. I don't
think it. I don't think it gives.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
You the severity it needs.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Isn't that the point?
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Well? No, ill you a quincy?
Speaker 7 (13:21):
No?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
No, but that's what I mean.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
I don't want somebody to go like, oh, I don't
have anything to worry about.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
It's just a quincy.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
What was it the name of the doctor that figured
it out.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
I feel like my dad used to watch a show
called Quincy. You go. But no, I'm sure it's not
named after him. It probably is.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
But no, you know what, I like, that's not severe enough.
That's like finding out you have cancer. But they call
it like a oh you got a dollup? No that
this is bad. They got to cut your whole throat open.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
It is called a quincy due to the historical evolution
of its name from the ancient Greek term can, which
translates to dog choking, because sufferers felt like they had
such difficulties swallowing they were choking.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I believe that because of the hot potato.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Boys over the centuries, the Greek word morphed into the
Latin word sinance or sinance, eventually evolving into the old
French word s QUINNANCEI, and then it became quincy. Now
you know what you got.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
You got you got a tonsil abscess and it's bad,
and you got to get that fixed.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
And your breath is kicking on top of it. Hi,
Elliott in the morning?
Speaker 7 (14:38):
Is this?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (14:39):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Who's this?
Speaker 7 (14:40):
H money born?
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yes? Did you have a quincy?
Speaker 7 (14:44):
I had two of them? I am. I was probably
like eighteen years old, and I had like I used
to get chronic strep throat and tonsilitis all the time.
But when I had this, I woke up and I
felt like I couldn't breathe and I couldn't sw follow
my own spit. It was absolutely horrifying.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
You know, they said it did your mouth, did your
throat feel like it was on fire?
Speaker 7 (15:08):
Well? It always did every time I had strap or
ton slide. So that was that was like, that was
normal for me when I had it. But the suffocation
of my my tonsole were my tonsole was massive. And
they went to put a needle in my mouth, and
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 8 (15:24):
I'm not afraid of.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
A needle anywhere else, but I will not let a
needle in my mouth. So I just they gave me
a liquid steroid and I just had to suck it
up because I wouldn't let them drain it.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Oh wait, so you just had to wait for all
that pus to evaporate in your body.
Speaker 7 (15:37):
I just it took days and I was miserable, but
I just I couldn't the thought of them putting a
needle in my mouth was I mean, I just couldn't
do it.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Hey, And so so I was going to ask when
you said you had two, I was gonna ask, are
they on both?
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Like?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Did they appear on different sides?
Speaker 4 (15:55):
But they never lanced and got it out on you.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
No, they only I had the one, and then I
got it again like a couple a few months later,
and then eventually I ended up getting my tonsils out
as an adult but I had to wait to do that.
But it's pretty viserable. It's probably the worst feeling thing
you can have. Just feels like something's like closing your throat.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Hey did you how was your breath?
Speaker 7 (16:21):
My breast didn't stink?
Speaker 2 (16:23):
How all that? Couldn't you see all that pus and
everything in there?
Speaker 7 (16:29):
Look, I had an I had an impact and impacted
like wisdom too. Now that stinks when they have when
they take all the garbage out of it. So I
can tell you nothing smells worse.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Than that that.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
My breath never smelled when I had it, not that
I could even open my mouth to really tell.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
God wreck.
Speaker 8 (16:51):
Not anymore.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
It's not all right, very good, very good, down, thank you.
That's horrible. I would hate to have that.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
How long does it take to get rid of a
quincy well?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
I think it depends on what road you go. Like
if you go like let the virus.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Run its course and take steroid six weeks, six weeks,
But if you get a if you get the if
you get the surgery or the lansing, I don't know
if they've got to put stitches.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
But what's that got to be? Three four days? Like
you pop? Is is it it's gone.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
That's just puzz filled. That says, although an abscess is
worse than just a proper treatment, could be five to
seven days, that's not bad. Full of recovery and return
to in our all activities in one to two weeks.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I don't know what they mean by like full activities.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
What can you have hot potato mouth? You're probably not
making many sales calls.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Oh would you like to advertise.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
On oh thatence kicking.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
On a Heart or on the NBC Nightly News.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Or if that got better? You'd require Diane though, to
come in if she had hot potato.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Oh god, yes, Oh, it's Dne.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Diane. We haven't heard you attempted again. Now that you
understand it, better.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
To imitate Tom Brokaw.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
No, what would you sound like if you had a
potato voice?
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Uh? Uh no that you like that in your tongue
got ripped out and.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
I go back to Tom Brokaw.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Now, yes, that's that's what you're imitating. Oh, Charlie both.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Oh Katie, you know what we need, actual potatoes.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I crushed potatoes right now.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Hi, Ellie, in the morning, I told you my Colonel
sandersmoyed about potatoes. Yes, yeah, he hated KFC mashed potatoes.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I love him. I'm sorry. Yes, who is this? Yeah?
Did you have perry tonsular abscess? Yeah? Sure, yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
I got it for my fortieth birthday last October.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
You know, I was gonna ask, is there are is
there a sweet age spot when you get it?
Speaker 5 (19:14):
I haven't spent a night in the hospital my entire life,
and then my fortieth birthday, I spent three days in
the hospital for this.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Wait, you were in the hospital for three days. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
They didn't want to. They didn't want to They didn't
want to lance it, so they put me on like
steroids and antibiotic drip and they just kept me there
until it kind of like went away from that. So
they didn't want to go in there and open it up.
They just put me on the drip and just let
me sit there for three days.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Why excuse me? Why out of curiosity did they not
want to lance it? Like what was the issue?
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Is it just like they don't want to be like
go cutting in your throat like infection?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Yeah, they thought it was just like unnecessary risk. They
didn't think it was like big enough to lance. So
instead of just taking you know, taking care of it
real quick and added risk. I guess they thought it'd
be fafor to just put me on the drip, So
I just laid there in the hospital for three days.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Did you did you have like like was your mouthful
of puss and stuff?
Speaker 5 (20:13):
No? No, mine wasn't that gnarly. But like the other
caller was saying, it's the most painful thing I've ever
had in my entire life. It felt like I was
swallowing razor blades.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
And I was camping with my son that weekend, so
I didn't want to go to the hospital because we
were camping, So I just kind of sat there and
sucked it up. But like I couldn't swallow my spit.
I was up all night. Is the worst pain I've
ever been in. And uh, I went to urgent care
as soon as I got done camping, and they're like,
straight to the hospital because your throat's closing up.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
So they and they did say, like you you you
refer to it as razor blades. The other thing I
read is like it's like a hot like like no, oh, no,
like a hot poker getting jammed in your throat.
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Yeah, yeah, like hands down, worst worst pain in my life,
and I've done a lot of stupid stuff, but this
this was beyond awful.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Interesting.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
I wouldn't wish on anyone who's pretty bad.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Wow, everybody says that, all right, very good, thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Everyone now is saying, and I've never seen King of
the Hill, but that you sound like Hank Hill. Is

Speaker 2 (21:11):

Speaker 1 (21:14):
So you do Hank Hill? Apparently the I know.

Speaker 2 (21:41):

Speaker 1 (21:46):

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Hi? Who's yeah?
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Hi?
Speaker 7 (21:50):
Hi?
Speaker 8 (21:51):
This is fairfag station.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
My daughter was three months old. I I've been, you know,
talking to her and all like you talked to babies
and children. And then I did the same thing as
his mom.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
I could.
Speaker 8 (22:11):
I would start speaking and then just completely lose breath
and my words would just go out into nowhere. And
I went into Georgetown to the ear nose throat specialist
apartment there and he called it new mom syndrome. But
I had nodules on my vocal cords. But I never
ended up having any surgery. I took some steroids and
(22:33):
I did like four months of speech therapy and they
told me they taught me how to completely speak and
use my diaphragm to breathe to relieve the pressure on
the nodules so that my vocal cords would close. That's
the problem. When you lose your breath like that, your
chords aren't closing well enough.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
So you had to go through speech there. I'd have
been like operate, like, I'm not going through four months.
I'm not beach therapy.
Speaker 8 (23:00):
No, they didn't want to operate because you know, vocal
cords are delicate, so you know, you don't want to
start going in there and cutting up on them if
you don't have to. And of course that was thirty
two years ago, so now the treatment may be completely
different for it now.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
But you are you done? Are you done with the
speech therapy or are you still in it? No?
Speaker 8 (23:25):
I did it for like four months, and but she
gave me all the directions and stuff because she said
if it ever came back or if I could hear
that it was coming back for me to well, she
told me to continue to practice how I was learning
how to breathe and enunciate words and pronounce things.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
But you know, you don't. You don't do that.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
No, because I was going to say, I still hear
like an accent and everything on you.
Speaker 8 (23:49):
Oh well, it didn't get rid of the accent.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
That's what I wouldn't speech therapy get rid of that
like you would.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Necessarily you talked about the diaphragm.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
You wouldn't think.
Speaker 8 (23:58):
You would think that when you been a majority of
your time with your parents who are from South Carolina
born and bred, you don't lose that.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
No, you don't.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
I hear it.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
I hear it.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
All right, Very good, very good, Dank. Your mom doesn't
have to go through speech therapy.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Does she? She does?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Actually?
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Does she? Really?
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Four months starts? I don't know if it's that long.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Now, I'll show it for one appointment and be like
I'll do it at home.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
From here, okay.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Elliot has resistance. Fans at home always tells the pets, yes,
ours in a week and how much does she have
to go? I don't know how long it lasts for.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
One session, like she's fine, Like what does she need
to learn to talk again?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
For again?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
This is she talks this weekend to test if you're oh,
because she wants to get the whole thing candidate for
the permanent surgery.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Oh god, I hate physical therapy and then just to talk.
Can I do it on the phone or zoom me? Like,
I don't want to do that. That's a pain in
the ass.
