Father of the Bride star Kimberly Williams-Paisley shared details of her successful vocal cord surgery, which restored her voice after two years. “I’ve been going through a thing,” the actress’ Instagram post caption begins. “Almost two years ago I lost my voice on stage at my Alzheimer’s event in Nashville.

It was embarrassing & scary & it never quite came back. It’s been a challenging couple of years, but we finally got to the bottom of it.” Sharing a picture of herself post-op, Williams-Paisley wrote that experts identified the problem as damage to her laryngeal nerve, which controls the voice box. “I tried everything I could to heal it (so thank you but please don’t give me any tips!).

I was finally able to have surgery this week at @vanderbilthealth with expert surgeons, & it is sounding so much better!!

I have a badass scar that’s smiling at me across my neck,” she wrote, before adding that the image of the mark is not for the faint of heart.
