But it is a bit stressful when the key to your employment — in my case, my voice — decides to go away.”

“Every day I get up in the morning, I hope that my voice will magically appear. It has not as yet, but I remain a relentlessly optimistic person. The most frustrating part is not being able to speak to my wife, my kids, my father, and my friends.”
