After surgery, my husband's voice was very raspy and just above a whisper. The dr said this would pass in a couple of days, that it was because of the breathing tube. It's been 2 weeks and his voice has still not come back. He saw a specialist today, so told him his voice might come back in 2 months, or it it could be 10 months, but that they don't consider surgery to repair vocal chords until a year after surgery. Have you ever heard of this? Thank you for your time.
