pictures from my last dr's appointment!

i went to bastian voice institute, and the did a broncoscopy.  they stick a light and a camera down your nose and look at your vocal cords and trachea, and this is what mine look like:



yes, the first photo looks like a vagina.  it's not.  it's my vocal cords (and they look good, yay!)

the photo beneath that is the healthy part of my trachea, and it's what my whole trachea should look like. 

the photos on the right are the part of my trachea that has been causing my breathing problem!  YAY!  WE KNOW WHAT IT IS!  i think those photos are both awesomely cool and completely disgusting, but mostly AWESOMELY COOL.

anyway, it turns out i likely have an auto-immune disorder and it's manifesting itself in my trachea and nose.  the tissue in the upper part of my trachea is inflammed and thus is narrowing my airway, and imparing my breathing.  if you look back at the photos on the right you might be able to see the dotted black line, and that's about how big my trachea should be at those points.

sadly, the cause of this is likely not a curable thing.  i still have to have some tests done to confirm.

the great news is that they can make it so that i can breathe again!  they're going to dialate the inflammed part of the trachea and do a biopsy, and when i wake up i'll be breathing normally again!  it's a temporary fix, and the inflammation will come back, but it could last for up to a year before i have to have the procedure done again.

either way, the doctor basically knows what's wrong, but most importatnly, HE KNOWS WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.  so on february 21st I'll be going back and by noon that day i should be breathing normally again.

WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

this is lauren colby, updating for her dear and darling sister kathryn.

aren't i a sweet sissy?


anyways, xanga is kiiiiind of old.  it makes me sad.  but even i know it, and i shut down my myspace AND xanga sites.  isn't that funny?  i spent way too much time on those distractions, i'm sure anyone can relate.

but from what i hear, FACEBOOK is the real thing to do.  i'm not gonna do that, personally, until i find the need for a HUGE distraction.


kt is home (if you haven't caught onto that yet) and she is going to go get drunk at her friend sarah's 21st birthday party tonight.  i'll let you all know how it went.

(actually, she's not going to get drunk.  i was kidding.  she's going to be a designated driver.  ain't that super exciting??!?!)

well, i am bored of this.  you should give my sister comments because she's uber cool.

i like posting photos so let's see what types of pictures kt stores on this macbook.

i haven't posted in a while.  and today is the day i'm sitting here going "my life sucks.  i need to be doing so much more with it."

ya.  i want to be able to teach my kids a second language from birth so that they're bilingual without needing to study hard.  which in turn would mean that I need to be able to actually speak another language.  and i really should just buck up and go study abroad.  whatever that takes.

and i need to loose the damn weight.  i just need to work harder at it, ya know?

i just need for something to happen so that i Can go and make big life changes, because i don't really know how to do it subtly.  but i need a refresher.  ugh.

i should get on that.  short term goals?  start that weight problem and work my ass off to try and get the smith scholarship.

so, my voice has been super awkward lately.  and i figured it was mostly due to my whole cough/new found inability to support/control my breathing.  anyway, i was practicing on sunday, and i thought i'd just test my range in chest voice for the fun of it, it's been feeling strong of late and i don't typically sing in it.  anyway, i definitely hit an Eb without much trouble at all.  in full chest.  i hit an E and an F, but they were rather iffy.  i could work on it and i'm sure i'd get it, but...then i realized that's definitely a THIRD above what i've previously been comfortable with.  I've always be a C kind of gal, and now suddenly I can hit a solid Eb in full chest?  uh, what the fuck.

so, that isn't just a tiny change in my voice, that's pretty friggin big.  but it may help to explain why notes I was so comfortable with before are suddenyl some of the most awkward and strange feeling to me.  i have to tell nicole about it tomorrow, but frankly, i don't know what to do.  maybe it'll just go away?  but i don't want it to?  again.  not sure what to do.

i haven't updated in a long time, and i feel like that's ok...

so, today i got really stressed out with course work and women's glee stuff, and getting stressed out about that made me feel depressed and sad about other things in my life that i didn't think were a problem, and now all of a sudden my stress decided to rub it in my face that i don't have a boyfriend, etc, etc, etc.

ugh.

anyway, i just finished reading East of Eden.  I really enjoyed it, I'd like to read it again to get even more of the deep meaning out of it.

one day at a time!
