I had Adductor Spasmodic Dysphonia (AD-SD) and underwent the Selective Laryngeal Adductor Denervation - Reinnervation (SLAD-R or "De-Re") procedure at UCLA Medical Center in Feb 2011. It was performed by Dr. Berke and his team. This surgical journal blog charts my experience starting from a few days before surgery and through my ongoing recovery.

T-2: Jetlagged and Anxious
Craig and I go to LAX to pick up my dad who turned 80 last week. He looks and acts like he’s younger than me and flew out to help me through the operation. My wife and kids are staying in China. We have lunch at a nice hotel on the beach in Santa Monica. Jetlag and anxiety about the operation are preventing me from getting a good night’s sleep.
