Isolation and Setbacks

 Had a setback, I pushed too hard in rehab. What happens when a partially mute boy gets muscle tension dysphonia?

 Answer, his doctor commanding he become a completely mute boy. Only for three days of recovery. 

 My external sutures come out Friday. I have been so self-conscious about the scar, Zahir got me some cute scarves, neck-wraps, and mock turtlenecks. He surprised me with a leather collar too. It says baby. The doc recommended no on that for a while, it breeds bacteria.

 Our post surgical isolation will be over next week and a half. The recent scans look very good. The otolaryngologist in-spite of the setback is pleased with the repair. The cosmetic surgeon is happy with the result of her side of the procedure. We are looking forward to returning to London. I will have a few more weeks of rest and recovery. Our primary care doctor will take over my care there.

 It looks like Z may have to return to Florida. A group who we designed a building for have chosen NOT to listen to our advice. BIG mistake. Zahir and the big boss are pissed beyond words.
