Antonio,
I too would like to wish you wellness in your adventure. I am also pleased to read from your posting that it appears your surgery was uneventful.
From our experiences there should be no problem with deactivating your prosthesis when necessary to overcome voice changes when having a business telephone conversation although I share from experiences the longer the device is allowed to cycle through the days and weeks to follow in all likelihood the less one should experience voice changes and/or other side-effects.
I also noticed you made no mention of the VNS settings. Hereto I would like to suggest from our personal experiences that proactively taking part in my spouse’s treatment regimen by knowing and recording of all detailed dosing and VNS settings also proved beneficial in her care. We know all the parameter settings for my spouse’s VNS and are therefore able to participate and make suggestions when necessary. More importantly, by knowing the settings we were able to easily overcome side-effects that did crop up from time to time.
Based upon your writings I think you’re off to a good start and like you mentioned hope too is an important element toward one’s wellness.
Thanks for sharing.
Warmly,
Herb
