Looks like 4/27 is the date for the surgery. All these appointments are messing up my vacation balance There are worse things of course, but burning my vacation time to sit in waiting rooms is a bummer.

So...I had an issue today. Rode my motorcycle to get service done. After going to my nieces birthday party I managed to dump the bike. For some insane reason I decided my arm should shield my helmeted head and managed to land broadside on the ground. Knocked the wind out of me and the bike landed on my foot. Seriously hope I haven't broken a rib...I don't want to give up my surgery date now

Yikes! I hope you are OK now Bob. Did you have to go to the hospital? What kind of bike do you have?
Dang, that's not good! Do you think your surgeons will have a sense of humor and overlook a busted rib?
ROTFL Sangye My first concern was my bike to be honest
I went to ER this morning cause the pain was pretty intense. Nothing is broken thankflully. Just heavy bruising on my ribs and foot. Got some Lortabs...that seems to take the edge off.
The bike is a Kawasaki MeanStreak 1600. Really was worried I busted it up good, but it appears to be ok. I'll need to get back on it soon...don't want to become scared of it.

Glad to hear the bike is OK! lol
Good to hear that you and the bike are ok
Well..once again this weird ride continues. I'm trying to keep the positive view here The honest truth is this is probably a blessing, but back to square one on one symptom.
Went in this morning for the dialation. Managed to stay mostly calm
Came out of surgery and was dumb founded. They didn't do anything, the stenosis was only 10% now. Partially this is because I apparently have a slightly enlarged area under my vocal cords above the sub-glotis, but looking at the pictures it is definitely more open than it was as well. Basically when they went in it was about 10% as opposed to closer to 60%.
Dr Villa Forte had said that it can be reversed via treatment, though everything I'd read seemed to suggest otherwise, well apparently I'm once again blessed to be responding optimally to treatment.
Only downer is that now it's becoming clear that the weezing when excercising and laying down may not have been TS related at all. I'm probably going to have a Pulmonologist visit in my future to check the Bronchial tubes. Going to wait to talk to Dr Villa Forte again on the 18th of May before I get too wrapped up in that plan.
Still a bit flabbergasted by the whole thing
